I am my own bread machine. Free, including exercise....I love making bread and it's not difficult. Throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and start kneading. Leave to sit while you go off and do something else. Then take a break and knead again for a few minutes and put in bread pans. Leave for a while and do something else. Then stop by the kitchen briefly to throw the bread in the oven. Return in half an hour to a house that smells of fresh warm bread. And you get the bread exactly the way you want it....

I've had so many friends complain about bread machine bread....nobody has complained about home made bread....
