A bread machine, also known as the bread maker, a type of appliance that turns ingredients into baked bread. It comes with a bread pan at the bottom which looks like paddles in a pizza oven. The bread machine is often controlled by a display panel.
The first bread maker was founded in Japan in 1986 by Panasonic. The purpose of this machine was to train the head bakers to knead bread. As it was industrialized, more companies started creating their own version of the bread machine. Some added a cooling fan at the bottom to allow the machine to cool off after use. Not too long after, it became famous in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
The bread machine is an all-in-one appliance. It takes the guess work out of making bread by mixing, kneading, proving, and baking the dough. Usually, the bread machine takes a few hours to make a loaf. Once done, the pan is removed from within the bread-maker, which leaves a small hole from the rod where the paddle is attached. Do not be put off by the odd shape of the bread from the machine. It is normal to produce vertical, square, or cylindrical loaves, which is very different from commercialized loaves.
The bread machine is considerably smaller in size than the standard oven. And the usage is defined by the capacity of the bread machine itself. In most cases, the bread machine can accommodate up to 1.5 pounds, or 700 grams of dough. There are also bread machines that can accommodate up to 900 grams of dough.
The typical bread maker comes with a built-in timer to control the start and end of the bread-making process. Most machines have a delayed start option, this allows the bread to start baking even when you are asleep or at work, meaning you'll be greeted by a fresh loaf.
The bread machine should be fit with your kitchen. If you don't have enough space in your kitchen, at least you have to manage where you are going to store the bread machine.
