I have a bread maker *blush*
Even though I have scoffed at such things many times in the past. Even though I maintain that if you're going to make bread you should do it right and get in there with your hands....
I do still think all this.
However.... the price of bread is just STUPID now. And while I LOVE to make my own bread *properly* what I lack is the time and the space. With 2 kiddies - regardless of hubby being home or at work (yay, he's got a job again!) - I don't really have the time to mix and kneed the bread, or have anywhere I can proof it. Once upon a time I used to rest it on top of the radiator in the living room, but that meant only having home baked bread in the dead of winter. And think about it, 2 kids and a cat with bread dough sat right there in poking reach... it's not going to happen.
So I have a bread maker. It's a Christmas present from my mum. One I'm allowed to have now and use. She brought it over today. I've baked two loaves already. 1 whole wheat, 1 white. Tried the whole wheat. It's actually quite nice. Probably better than my hand made stuff. Probably......
