Recommend bread machine?

[Offthegrid]

I definitely plan to get a bread machine. Although I'm sure handmade bread cannot compare, I am not a good cook. And I just don't have time to make bread by hand every week.

Does the Breadman Ultimate have one paddle or two? Apparently gluten-free dough is "heavier."

You can buy gluten-free bread mixes or substitute rice or tapioca flour in recipes.

Seems the Zojirushi is the recommended one, but none are optimal for the characteristics of gluten free bread dough.

My bread machine cookbook has a section on gluten-free bread baking, and they specifically mention the Wellbilt brand as having a special setting for gluten-free breads.

The Breadman Ultimate has one paddle, but it seems pretty heavy-duty. I used it this mornng to make banana bread with walnuts, and it had no problem with the thick, heavy batter.

OTG,
I like to make bread from scratch. But, before I learned how easy it was, I owned a bread machine. I cannot recall, possibly a sunbeam. It would not have been an expensive model. My friend's was very pricey. Both did the same things, took the same time to make, etc. Cheaper is not necessarily bad in a bread machine, unless they have drastically changed in the past few years.
