Bread Makers

As a big time bread lover I am a huge fan of the highly popular bread machines that are now on the market.

I used to have to go to my grandmother’s house to get really good fresh bread, now with the recipes I have accumulated and my own bread machine I can make my own at home.

Having fresh bread makes a big difference in meals like spaghetti, gumbos etc.

If you are of French or Italian descent you know that not having fresh bread on the table is almost a sin.

I know when I was growing up my Mama Doguet, who is of course Cajun, would always have a roll of fresh bread or a big pan of fresh baked rolls at every meal.

Well, thanks to the ingenuity of inventors we no longer have to make the trip to grandma’s house just to get fresh bread now bread machines or bread makers are quickly becoming a small piece of equipment used almost as much as the microwave.

Most bread you buy at the grocery store these days comes in one and a half to two pound loafs, so the first tip you should know is to look for a bread machine with at least a two pound capacity.

Some of the best choices for these settings are: Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Sweet and Express bake.

If you get a bread machine that has a view window you can actually watch the bread baking without removing the lid which saves energy and time.
