Making bread by hand can be a complex and acquired skill, so if you want to make bread at home, a bread maker is convenient to have.

Bread makers have several advantages over going out and buying your bread, including making your bread if you have a food intolerance. There are also the health benefits as you know that the bread you make does not contain any additives or preservatives.

Breadmakers are user-friendly and have several settings to match different types of bread. You can decide to make a baguette when you’d like, or perhaps a traditional loaf of bread.

Are there any disadvantages?

Bread will be eaten quicker!  Who doesn’t like fresh, chunky sliced bread, so although cheaper to make, you may be making more than usual.

Bread makers are pretty bulky, so you will have to find somewhere suitable and large enough to store it.
