I seem to have went the opposite way to everyone else! I used to use a bread maker which gave up the ghost a while ago. It did everything, the mixing,kneading,proving and baking.
It wasn't until I made an oven loaf that I realised what I had bean missing. Apart from a better loaf I quite enjoyed the kneading and timing the proving before finally baking the bread in the oven. It appears to be time consuming but is a lot more enjoyable to me than just bunging it in breadmaker.
I am retired so my time is my own. I enjoyed doing it and the result was fantastic.
I think I will stick with it forr a while and try a few different flavours and shapes and see how it works out.
In three days I have eaten half a loaf so if I freeze the sliced loaf I have left and use it for the rest of the week I should be able to get away with breadmaking once a week. If I time it right I can bake my bread when I have the oven on cooking something else so it will be a win win and not cost any more for electric!
