Bread maker – General

On Bread Maker is the best way to make a bread yourself, knowing exactly which ingredients are in it. Such a device kneads the ingredients, then lets the dough go and finally bakes it out. For this, the user only has to select the desired baking program and give the necessary ingredients in the bread maker. On Bread Maker Processes both baking mixes as well as the individual ingredients. As a result, both a wholegrain bread, as well as a mixed bread can be easily produced. In addition, this also processes a dough for the cake or for the pizza, if you wish, without having to do it yourself. Some models, such as Princess Silver Breadmaker or Unold Backmeister, also offer the possibility to program their own programs. Otherwise, most of the models have a recipe book or at least a detailed manual included, so that the operation of the device is quite simple.

Bread maker – Applications

On Bread Maker is always used where and when fresh bread is to be baked. With this device, the owners are neither dependent on the opening hours of the bakeries, nor on their offers. With a bread maker, the bread gets exactly the ingredients you want it to contain. In addition, such a device is an excellent choice for people who have to do without gluten because of celiac disease. For these are detailed instructions on gluten-free cheeks in most models.

Working principle of the bread maker

The operating principle of a bread maker is the same for all models. The interior of the case has a coated rectangular baking pan with one or two kneading hooks. Unfortunately, round bakeware is not yet available on the market. In this baking pan the ingredients are given. Then the user selects the desired baking program and the device does the rest alone. Heating is provided by the ring heaters, which are located in the lower part of the oven. The bread is usually ready in three to five hours.

Equipment and differences between the models

Although the principle of operation is the same, there are still some differences in equipment. This decides in most cases on the usability of the bread maker and the quality of the baked bread. The first difference concerns the capacity of the baking pan, which can range from 750 g up to 1.5 kg. A larger baking dish is recommended here rather than a smaller one.
The further difference concerns the kneading used. So on most models the dough hooks have to be removed by hand. In the bread, however, holes remain behind. Who wants to avoid this, must resort to a device in which the dough hooks can be easily removed before the last rest of the dough. If you prefer heavy wholegrain dough, you should also make sure to select a device with two stirring hooks that turn both left and right.
Some models are equipped with automatic ingredient addition. Come with these models grainsor nuts in a tray with a lid and are added to the dough at a specific time, depending on the selected program, or simply by pressing a button. On the cheaper models, the user will be notified by a beep that it is time to manually add the desired ingredients. In addition, some devices are equipped with a viewing window.
An integrated timerallows the determination of the time of the end of the entire baking process. Such a model can then be filled just before going to sleep and at the touch of a button, the time of baking is determined, so you have fresh bread on time for breakfast in time for breakfast. However, if you prefer to delay the selected breakfast time, you can select a unit with a keep-warm function.
Due to the different heat settings, the degree of browning can be individually adjusted. In addition, most models offer the option of selecting a quick program. But this function should rather be avoided. Because to really delicious, the dough needs his breaks. Otherwise the whole taste suffers. If you are in a hurry, you should go to the bakery.
