I bake bread at least twice per week. Today I made English Muffins. You don't need a bread machine but if you have your heart set on one, there are plenty at the GoodWill stores and other good will shops. Might cost you $5-8 instead of a new one for $125.

I do use my IP for the 1st and sometimes 2nd rising, by placing the bowl in the IP set on Yogurt setting, which also tells you how long the machine has been on the yogurt setting.

My success with my bread machine is to use the dough selection only and finish off in the oven. Yes katmondoo Jan 2021 #3
