I needed a breadmaker to help with the kneading work & to have a reliable temp for the rising process. This breadmaker does this wonderfully. I'm not crazy about the shape of the loaf. It's 'squat' which makes the bread seem dense when it shouldn't be, but I've decided to use the machine to do the work & then transfer the loaf into pans to bake in my oven.
I would recommend this to a friend!
