Picked it up from Goodwill for $7.00. It will also make butter. I tried that already and it was a failure. I think I had too much heavy cream. No worries I saved the cream and will try again. My oldest daughter is using it to make dinner rolls. to go with our spaghetti dinner tonight. We used a recipe found in the manual. We didn't get the manual, but thanks to the internet I found it.
I just had a small taste of roll, not bad so far. Lisa added all the ingredients, let the machine do its job, then cut dough rolled into balls and baked. I picked up some bread flour vs using all purpose flour. A 25 lb bag at WM, is like $10.00. Today I bought a bag Pillsbury Bread Flour for testing.
I think we are going to start making beard and rolls from now on. The weather has been great mid 70"s. But you know we will pay the price. They are talking rain on Tuesday...almost 2". gee will our drought ever end with all this rain we had this summer.
Stay Safe my friends..........Rob

Good luck with your breadmaking! I sure like using my bread machine. It makes the process so simple. I think the process is pretty much the same in most machines - liquids first, then dry ingredients and flour with the yeast on top. I was having trouble kneading bread dough by hand due to arthritis so the machine made it possible to go back to making homemade bread. You are going to love it!
There was a time when I had access to heavy cream and made butter. Back then I just poured the cream in a glass bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until butter formed, drained off the whey, rinsed the butter with cool water and worked in the salt. Delicious. Except for the time I used a stainless steel bowl and wound up with gray butter. That was kind of ugly. :)
Home made bread is the best IMO.
