Lovely women! If you like to work in the kitchen and please the family with fresh ideas and new dishes, you definitely need to pay attention to the bread maker. It's no secret that "bread is the head for everything". In the modern world, the assortment of supermarkets is rich and diverse, but imagine how it would be nice to wake up and smell the freshly baked roll, coming from your own kitchen. If you are lazy and ready to waste time on baking, you will feel how tasty the home-made bread is.
How to choose a good bread maker?
First, pay attention to the dimensions of the equipment. Such a furnace is comparable in size to a microwave oven and takes a sufficient place in the kitchen. Depending on the price and the manufacturer, the functionality of the bread maker will be different. Expensive models have a huge number of programs (up to 17 different cycles), and in budget versions there are 3-4 cycles of baking. The value also has the weight of baked bread, so if you are looking for a home technique, do not take a machine that bakes rolls weighing a kilogram. Of course, it takes a lot for a big family and bread, but it's better if it is fresh every morning.
Functions of the bread maker
The principle of almost all breadmakers is typical: you load the necessary ingredients without mixing them, and choose a mode. The oven itself will knead the dough, let it come up, and then bake the bread and at the end of the process will give a signal. As you can see, you only need to select the desired program and put the right amount of products inside, and everything else does the oven yourself.
Almost all models are able to bake French baguettes, knead the dough with yeast and without a very different consistency, and also to regulate the roast crust. In addition to the basic cycles of baking, the bread maker with the function "rye bread" will please you with the availability of a regime for making this kind of bread. Along with the variety of functions, the price for such equipment also grows, so think about whether you need, for example, a bread maker with the function "yogurt" if it costs much more.
An expensive model can not only bake the most diverse bread, but also make cupcakes, jam, rolls with various additives, sweet pastries, diet dough, yogurt and even butter. Therefore, if you are an experimenter by nature, you will not regret buying expensive equipment, having obtained freedom for your culinary fantasy.
The presence of a timer will allow, after loading everything you need in the evening, in the morning to get a fresh roll for tea, and the function of accelerated baking will help you if the guests did not warn about their visit. Protection from voltage drops will save the running program even if the power is cut off for up to 40 minutes. Protection from children will not allow small researchers to accidentally change the program and break the process, just like opening the lid during cooking.

A separate function that significantly affects the cost of the unit is the dispenser. This is a special hole on the lid of the stove, used to automatically add ingredients after completing the kneading process. Such a stove itself will add raisins, nuts or dried fruits, while a more complete one will sound a beep, and you will have to fill up the delicacies yourself.
