Bread Makers
I would like to start baking my own bread, any suggestions on what kind I should get it would be appreciated...Thank you
I sold mine in a garage sale after not using it for a long time now I wish I had it back again. So I'm thinking of buying another one but I haven't a clue what is the best one out there. I was thinking of asking this in my All around the Kitchen group. But it should be interesting to see what, if anything folks say here, too.

I love my bread maker. I have had it for over 20 years and we make pizza dough, dinner rolls and bread in it.

Red what make do you have? I heard Sunbeam was good, then I went on line and saw some very expensive ones. They recommended West Bend....

I put this question to my kitchen group for thier advise and this is the three responses I got. zI'm cross posting it here.
My first thought is to buy a bread maker used…at a garage sale,, online, from a friend
I got a Betty Crocker Bread Maker from my daughter-in-law, because she wasn’t using it…now, I am not using it…hmmmmmmmmm
What could be better than the smell of fresh baked bread in the middle of winter (well, perhaps mulled wine)…
I just never got around do using it…I had borrowed it before and did use it, then Renee wanted it back, then she finally gave it to me
Now that I am widowed and retired, I have the time, (no real energy involved) and desire to make some fresh bread…but I lack the initiative
Perhaps after I move, I will flip the page of life and become a bread maker… I don’t want to make those fancy double-down whole wheat with nuts and fruit conglomerates…I just want to make dense, rustic bread…Euro style
Give me a year, or look for a garage sale

Forget bread machines. Try "no-knead" bread. It is simple, versatile, forgiving and takes almost no time to make, if you plan ahead. It rises for about 18 hours, but weighing (or measuring) and mixing take just a few minutes. The bread is amazing, much better than anything I ever made in a bread machine. I first saw the recipe in Mark Bittman's column (The Minimalist) in the New York Times on November 8, 2006. He got the recipe from Jim Lahey. If you google you should get lots of hits with the original recipe and many simple variations (more salt is probably the most important.) Vogue, May 2007 had an excellent article on the recipe. If I can find a link I'll post it later. Good luck

I started making the no knead bread a couple of weeks ago. I love it. Been making bread foever. Also James Beards Cuban bread is good also. Have a bread maching, if I only make one loaf I sometimes use it to knead it. They make ok bread and its kind of foolproof. Most are similar. Buy the cheapest and see if you use it or borrow one.
