    As a person with a genetic condition that leaves me in Chronic pain that takes my mobility more with each year, things like bread makers are very helpful. The one I have is very old though. I wish I could afford a new one to help with making gluten free bread

    I spent 2020 making bread, and I have to say, these things SUCK!
    The reasoning he used at the start, sure warm bread is nice, but these are not that kind of bread.
    It's hard, low moisture, dense bread that I believe everyone can make better by themself.
    Additionally, you can achieve the same warm bread result by heating your homemade bread by any method. (Oven, toaster, even microwave. Anything that gets the water inside the bread to heat up and break those "stale" structures)

    And the parts saying it does "perfect proofing and adds additional ingredients at the right time", just pointless. Bread is an art, not a formula. I made the same mistake at the start, but I now know that you can really try to mess up bread but it will still end up good if you stop trying to force ot to be good. Don't worry about proofing time or when you add extras.

    can you do pizza dough? also if not the panasonic, if you think that it does too much… What would be a better unit that is directed towards just making bread that is not so expensive. How did you forget pizza? you could make a cheesy bread pizza.

    When I moved into my flat there was a mysterious black bin bag with something inside it. Opened it and found a bread maker (same company, earlier model) which had been left by the previous owners.

    My dad has that exact bread maker and the bread usually has the texture of a sponge and half the flavour of a shop bought loaf. Plus the mixing hook makes a hole that ruins 1 or 2 slices per loaf, the seed/nut dispenser can get jammed when dropping, and there have been many failed loaves where it just doesn't mix properly and you end with a huge clump of raw flour on the bottom. If Ben has avoided all that with this particular model then he has been very lucky.

    We bought our eldest daughter a Panasonic 18 yrs ago as our Grand daughter became allergic to so many food items by the age of two! The machine was the only one of it's kind that had gluten free recipes and it was an amazing piece of kit! The machine came to us after a couple of years and it still continues to work! Our eldest son bought us a new version, same style as above and it is just as good as the original! We have the older one as a spare. Tips: When lifting bread tin out of machine use 2 oven mitts or two folded tea towels (one for each hand) so much easier to transfer bread out without burning hands, leave dough hook in until cold then hold tin upside down and gently wiggle blade up and down with a slight turn and it will come away in no time. Best breadmaking machines ever!

    I baked chicken roast too in my bread maker and then cook chicken rice with my bread maker! Bread Maker is a must have! You don't need a rice cooker to cook a perfect rice with Bread Machine.

    The basic working parts of the machine look nearlt identical to the breadmaker my mum bought like 20 years ago, but I can see that second container for seeds and nuts and stuff making a huge difference if you wanted breads with that kind of extra bits in. I've never gotten as nice of a seed distribution in a handmade loaf as those two test breads, though granted, I'm very much an amateur cook.

    I went to go check this out because it would be useful for our household when they said it was £240 but I can't find it for less than $530 lol

    You’ve used the rye bread paddle in the beginning of the video 🙂

    Also for proofing you can use the sourdough starter menu option. It keeps the temperature high enough for a great proof!

    Been using this for a year now and it’s be best thing I’ve bought! Convenient to make dough, makes my proper sourdough dough to perfection, hamburger brioche buns, sourdough pizza dough etc etc.

    here in the US, it's very easy to find secondhand bread machines at thrift stores for $20 or so. I'm slightly tempted to try seeking one out now. I love baking bread from scratch myself but I do love a good lazy solution

    Every middle range bread machine does this, don't have to be that expensive.
    My mother has one in her mountain house, so we just have to buy flour and have fresh bread during all our holidays. But I always only use the kneading and proofing steps, and always bake the bread in the oven, I never had a nicely baked bread in the machine.

    My family has an old bread machine that would be at least 30 years old by now and still works! Very basic with different settings for about 10 or so types of bread and a different setting for regular or large loaf, just throw all the ingredients in and you're good to go. I love making my own bread, we started using the machine again recently after it sitting in the cupboard for 10 years, and we haven't brought bread since! Our bread may not be as fluffy and light as store-bought bread, but honestly I prefer denser bread. My daily bread tends to be white bread but using whey instead of water (my family like to make paneer so there's always plenty of leftover whey for bread)
