Recently we decided to buy a bread machine. It happened to be advertised on Deals Direct and was half-price available for only a day or so online. My husband and I discussed whether it was something we could do with and we went for it seeing it had great reviews. I have blogged about my previous breadmaking attempt which was great but there is something about dumping a whole lot of ingredients into a machine and letting it do all the hard work for you!
Despite its bulk it has been a great addition to our kitchen - we have since found a spot for it to live out of sight and I use it on average twice a week but will probably use it a lot more. It came with a bunch of recipes which I've noticed use millilitres and grams for weights. This allows for more accurate measurements resulting in perfect bread (I did try out an attractive online recipe which just used cups and it was a disaster). I was so impressed with the traditional white bread and have since tried out sweet bread and cinnamon raisin nut bread.
One thing I would like to experiment with is gluten-free bread recipes. There is no such mode on our model but I think I'll hunt some recipes down and see how I go. Served warm/toasted with jam and butter they're a real treat - no more $1 supermarket bread in this house!
