The automatic bread maker is a wonderful invention given to us from the 1980s. Prior to this invention, women would have to spend all day, making and waiting for their bread loaves to come out of the oven.

It was a tedious process of mixing the dough, kneading the dough and then waiting for the first rise. After the first rise, it was punched down and had to rise again before shaping and then rising a third time before baking. This process took many hours just to be able to enjoy a loaf of fresh bread.

Bread machines are ideal for those who want homemade bread without the option of having a big oven. They are also called “bread makers” and work as an alternative to traditional ovens. They also knead, mix, and in some cases, preheat the dough before baking. They are made up of a pan with a center paddle closed in a small window or a dome-shaped oven.

The bread of your choice

Almost all kinds of bread machines have a timer and settings for different kinds of bread like whole wheat, rye, and white that come in different sizes, and most can accommodate the standard 1.5-pound loaf. Here are the types of bread machines you can conveniently use in your home:
