I wish I had the time to knead, proof, punch down, shape, rise and bake
the way my mother used to, but since I don't I do the next best thing
and use a machine. I had a Westbend that did a good job, but was picky
about the flour/liquid ratio. After years of use it died and I bit the
bullet and got a Zojirushi. Glad I did. I couldn't be happier with the
results, but to its credit, the Westbend did teach me what to look for
in the texture of the dough. I always started it in a food processor
first before moving it to the machine. Not anymore with the Zojirushi.

I do have a Panasonic bread machine but I haven't used it in ages. I bought
it when I had been ill and wasn't able to knead etc.

I don't use it now because I have gone back to No-Knead bread, my husband's
favourite)

I am glad you have a bread maker you are happy with. My Panasonic is jolly
good too and I know that day will come when I need it again, so it lives
safely in my pantry )
