One more hour of rising then pop in the oven for 30 minutes of baking. Far superior to bread machine stuff, with very little effort. I was just thinking that the "spend the day baking bread" idea is probably another of those idealized versions of the truth.It's mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030081794655766175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580247703206240142.post-41254730290981470172008-11-02T15:19:00.000-08:002008-11-02T15:19:00.000-08:00Good post. If spending 3 or 4 hours, baking bread...Good post. If spending 3 or 4 hours, baking bread on a Sunday afternoon, is something you find enjoyable, then by all means knock yourself out. Most of us don't feel that way and can find better use for our time. A bread machine makes perfect sense, especially since you can find them by the dozen for next to nothing.Marine 83https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754070643265022189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580247703206240142.post-81703741285812404412008-11-02T13:10:00.000-08:002008-11-02T13:10:00.000-08:00You got it there, Also got the dutch oven tuned up...You got it there, Also got the dutch oven tuned up and make sure that I use it a couple of times every year.Degringoladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893964959960977677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580247703206240142.post-91015764017415351542008-11-02T11:19:00.000-08:002008-11-02T11:19:00.000-08:00Using less electricity than your oven justifys it ...Using less electricity than your oven justifys it by itself. Probably pay for itself before the S hits the fan anyway. And your far more likely to actually use it if the S does not hit the fan.<BR/><BR/>But make sure you have a backup that can be used to cook bread over an open fire. Just in case you can not obtain electricity nor propane for whatever reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
