Alright /ck/,
Im done with uni and start my job next month. I wanna bake my own bread because why not. Also I have stomach problems so I feel like have non preservative bread could be beneficial to me. Do you guys have any recommendations on breadmakers?
>$50-70 is my budget
Yeah, I have a recommendation for a breadmaker: your own two hands, you lazy fuck

I want a breadmaker someday just for the hell of it, but for now I do this:

This could be a good excuse to buy a dutch oven if you don't have one already.

Okay, so you want to make sourdough. Which is basically grinded while wheat grain + water, and some time.
As for making bread? Kneading is very easy unless you have super dry hands.
Its literally hutting the dough on a flat surface for 10 minutes, properly.
>>7664949
What he said.
Do a web search on "No Knead Bread" if you're lazy. or try the Joy of Cooking "Milk Bread" recipe, which is also great for dinner rolls. Or make some cinnamon rolls, it's really hard to fuck those up and everyone loves them.
A *bread machine*? For shame, op.
The fuck is a bread machine? I get bread mixer
>>7664949
That takes a day you nigger, a breadmaker takes 3 hours to bake bread
>>7665143
You are retarded
>>7665143
it literally takes the same amount of time
buy a few big plastic mixing bowls and find a 4 ingredient recipe
get some bread flour, yeast and fine salt and go to town. i can whip up 3 batches in 30 minutes

If you really want to get a bread machine, don't cheap out with a shitty $50 machine.
Just make it by hand or spend the money on a decent quality one in the $100-200+ range that will actually work fairly well and last for a while.
>any recommendations on breadmakers?
yeah your hands and an oven
>>7665168
>breadmachine dough magically rises faster
I'm trying to make a bread-like thing with baking powder and it's not working out. Why? Basically soda bread but using water and baking powder instead of soda and buttermilk. What's the deal?
Ignore the people in this thread who don't have breadmakers, a good breadmaker really does save you a lot of time and effort. Once you put the ingredients in you can just press a button, forget about it, and have perfectly soft fresh bread every time in three hours. It also saves you a lot of electricity and cleaning. You just need to dump flour, water, yeast, sugar, water, and salt together.
My breadmaker also has a setting for dough only, which is nice when I'm making steamed or shaped filled buns and rolls.
I'm perfectly capable of making my own dough/bread from scratch (used to), but a breadmaker saves me time.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. What's the name of your brand? I don't want to spend too much incase I don't find it worthwhile

It might be outside your budget. Any non-off-brand breadmaker should work, though. They're not too different aside from how many settings they have.
OP here, are there bread machines that make gluten free bread?
My girlfriend's son has a gluten sensitivity, so I need it to be able to remove gluten from the bread if need be.
>>7664947
if you have digestion problems with bread, try to make a sourdough starter, as opposed to commercialised yeast. if you want to get serious about baking bread, you should look into it.
>>7665741
...just put gluten-free flour in, then
all a breadmaker does is mix/knead the ingredients you put in into dough and heat it until it's baked
it doesn't magically add in gluten
>>7665767
A lot of newer bread machines have specific gluten free bread cycles now as well.
>>7664947
I got a bread maker for 5 dollary doos at a thrift store.
>>7665779
No, don't be stupid.
>>7665790
??
Is it really so much to ask?
>>7665791
Yes.
Now stop being stupid.
>>7665776
>gluten free bread
literally impossible
>>7665827
I got a bag of bread from a food drive that says gluten free, is the label a lie? (Not being an ass here this is genuine curiosity)
>>7665839
Nevermind I just opened it, this shit isnt bread. Its all crumbly like a biscuit. And tastes like shit.
>>7665839
bread requires gluten to be bread
>>7665827
Not really, there are many gluten free grains that can be ground up into flour and made into bread.
Admittedly, every gluten free bread I've ever tried has been fucking awful, but it does exist.
>>7665872
Like what?
>>7665858
I shoulda googled first
>>7665879
Gluten free flours?
Sorghum, rice, oat, millet, buckwheat, flaxseed, corn, potato, almond, bean, etc.
>>7665907
It seems your definition of bread is a tad looser than your moms cunt
>>7665917
It's not "my" definition of bread, I already said that gluten free bread is fucking terrible.
I was just pointing out that various types of gluten free flour do exist.
>>7665741
You're not OP you lier
OP here, my girlfriend's daughter really wants to have it so that you can make waffle dough too.
Are there any breadmakers that make waffle dough?
>>7666107
That meme has been on this board for quite awhile now.
Panasonic bread makers are the best
