My mum's had a bread machine for years, and after our last one pooped out, she recently got a new one. Now that's she getting ready to retire, she's of a similar mind as you, with groceries being so expensive, we have bought a lot of "do it yourself" cooking things to assist us in the kitchen (a pasta roller thing for homemade pastas, a dehydrator, an ice cream maker; my nana even sent us a latte machine so I can make my fancy coffees at home and not spend money at Starbucks!)
But we love our bread machine. Mum actually prefers to use the bread machine just to knead the dough and then bake it in the oven, so she can make rolls or small loaves. But it's nice because she can let the machine do the kneading work while she does other things, so it cuts down on the time it takes to make bread. So far, with the new one, she has made Italian loaves, jalapeño cheese rolls, hamburger buns... All sorts of things. It's really nice to have such an easy alternative to going to the store and buying expensive breads.
Ours is a Breadman Pro, and I think mum got it from Amazon. So far I haven't heard any complaints from her, and we've been up to our eyeballs is fantastic bread since. I hope you continue to enjoy yours!
does baking a whole loaf in the oven change anything about the bread, vs. baking it in the machine? Or is it just the versatility of shape she prefers? I plan to do the same thing with rolls, but I also see a lot of people reviewing recipes and stating they only use the bread mchaine to mix, then oven bake, to which I think "I could have just used my mixer for that!"
Ooooh, I want to try hamburger/hot dog buns! That sounds so much more delicious than store bought!
I think most baking it in the oven is versatility with shape. And, like with the jalapeño cheese rolls, she actually made a plain bread mix and made half of it into the rolls and the other half into just a plain loaf. Also, the little mixing thing in the bottom of the bread maker on ours leaves a hole in the bread, and that really bothers my parents, lol. I don't know if it really affects the taste - my mum will be the expert on that so I will ask her when she gets home!
I didn't get the chance to try the hamburger buns because I was out that night, but they got rave reviews from my dad!
