    Bread makers are great! Totally try one! Like others, I sometimes just make the dough in it then shape and bake on my own. I used to make a lot of challah.

    I've often thought of it but time/desire/life always seem to derail this for me.

    My Costco has this for $6-7 for 2 loaves and has decent ingredients. I think fairly newish?

    Trader Joe's breads are very cheap and have very few ingredients if you're in a bind and don't have time to make bread. The dates are about a week out --I look at the date labels to get the freshest. For baking bread, I haven't checked in a while, but I thought most bread machines used pans with nonstick coatings. I am planning to upgrade all my baking pans to USA Pans, like these after reading endless raves on the BBB for them:

    For homemade baking, I've switched to using only einkorn flour, which I buy from Jovial Foods. The owner/creator has posted how to make your own starter for bread so you don't have to buy yeast. This has been on my to-do list for a couple years--it's just too easy to go to TJ's and buy sandwich bread, but it's not einkorn. She even has a no-knead bread recipe which you cook in a dutch oven.

    We had a bread maker that we got for a wedding present in 2002. We've been using it to make breakfast bread, and it finally crapped out a couple of months ago. Around this time I really got interested in making bread after watching Michael Pollan's "Cooked," series on Netflix. Here's a SUPER EASY recipe. Like, so easy it's crazy.

    I was using a dutch oven for a while, but then I switched to a loaf pan to make it easier to slice for toast or sandwiches. One nice thing about doing it this way is you don't get a huge hole in the middle from the paddle of the machine. That was the only annoyance with using the bread machine.

    I also tweak the above recipe. 2 tsp of salt was crazy salty for us, so I use less than 1 tsp. I also use 2 tsp of yeast because I use Whole Wheat flour, sometime entirely, sometimes mixed with White flour. I've also been making my own pizza crust, and I find that after you try a few recipes you start to see a trend in the amounts of ingredients, so don't be afraid to experiment!

    ok guys, I got a 8$ bread maker from gw today.. I have until tomorrow to test it and decide if its working and if I want to keep it or not. It did not come with any recipe book etc... I think its Breadman TR845. Can any recipe be used in a bread machine? Any specific recipes to use in a bread machine? any links for me? thanks

    I think different bread machines have different ‘rules’ if wet or dry can go in first. I know with mine, wet has to go in first. Maybe look online to see if you can find a manual.
