Hey all, thanks for this informative forum, I'm new to baking bread and looking for helpful info. Started a few weeks ago with a Westbend Breadmaker and encouraging results. Like many, I need to cut costs and intend to make bread items instead of buy from the grocery store. I have had my DIY pizza periods, thus the aka.
I have always wanted to bake bread, but not owning a Stand mixer has been the primary reason I hesitated. We had the westbend as a gift, significant other used one time and decided to make bread not her thing, so storage. 6 years later lol, decided to give a try.
So progressed from allowing the breadmaker do all processes to removing the dough before the last rise and using a regular loaf pan to bake in the oven. Great results...
Have discovered NO Knead bread, so don't need a stand mixer and tried no-knead pizza dough which was GREAT.
So have a lot to learn... again thank you for this forum
You have found a great forum. Looking forward to sharing recipes and ideas. Would love to see your no knead recipe and final loaf.

Welcome to the Forum !!
This is a great forum, you'll find lots of help here, and encouragement.
I don't have a stand mixer, either. I like kneading by hand, it's a great learning experience feeling the dough change as you work it.
