Bread Makers

[Chrisser]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if any of you could recommend a bread maker. I've been looking at one on the Bed, Bath & Beyond website - the Cuisinart Convection Bread Maker. Anyone have that one?

Also, what staples do I need for a good recipe?

Thanks in advance!

hey there!

I got mine a few months ago (same model, looks a little different from Williams Sonoma). Am fairly happy with it even though I would now buy one with two whisks rather then one. The gluten-free dough is fairly sticky so I would assume the mixing works much better with 2 of those. Right now I have to manually go in there with a spatula.

my 2 cents!

Happy baking!

cheers,

Katja

I have the Cuisinart Breadmaker. LOVE IT!!! Just the fact that it has a gluten-free setting is great. I just use it with mixes. My favorite is Pamela's Amazing Wheat-free Bread Mix. It is truly amazing. My husband and kids love it and it's even really good untoasted as PB&J.

I haven't done much experimenting at all with it, so I can't fill you in on the features. Whenever I'm thinking about buying something like this I go to www.epinions.com and www.amazon .com and look at the reviews. So you might want to check that out.

I do scrape down the sides because the paddle is small. But it's not something I mind doing. I even forgot to do that once and it turned out fine. There was a little bit of clumping in the corners, but it didn't effect the bread at all. I just tend to be a little perfectionistic about such things.

I have the zorushi ( spelled wrong) and I love it. I use the Anna's bread mix, it's our favorite..You should be okay with the model your looking at: I see someone said it had a gluten-free setting. I think the motor has to be strong to mix the dough. Mine has two paddles and makes the typical loaf of bread. It does a great job of mixing.......
