Precaud's blog

Rather than go through each machine one by one, as I had intended to do, I thought it more useful to just post a graph showing the baking pan temperature versus remaining time for a number of bread makers. The purpose is to give a good picture of how each unit performs as an oven to bake bread in.

Spring is here... soon it will be too warm to use the large indoor oven. It's the season for min-ovens (MO) and bread machines (BM) to be used more frequently, often set up out on the porch.

Over the last year or so I've tested dozens of BM's, looking for the ones that do the best job at mixing/kneading, fermenting/proofing, and baking. This thread is about the baking part.

One of the posts that motivated me to join this group early this year was this one by troglodyte, Sourdough Bread for Bread Machines with Programmable Cycles
