I got a breadmaker

[cinlee3]

I got up early this morning and went to Tuesday Morning. Got there at 6:50 am and the parking lot was pretty full. At first I thought everyone was waiting in their cars for the place to open and then I noticed no one in the cars.

I walked in and there was a long hall packed with people. My heart sank. I was misdirected twice but finally found what I was looking for - at 7:00 there were only two left. By 7:03 there were none.

Anyway - I got my Welbilt Breadmaker for $29.99 (originally $99.00). It makes a 2bl horizontal loag. Not sure if I like all the features, but this will do fine until I can get the Zojirushi I really want.

Now I have to wait till Christmas to use it - Rats!

Yummmm!

You can mail bread, you know. Just in case you'd like some of us to try it out.

How exciting! I just got one last month from my sister - she didn't really like/use it. I've been having a lot of fun with mine. I'm glad I didn't have to wait until C'mas!

Make sure you check out the Recipes board after Christmas. I got a lot of help with recipes & sites when I first started.

I have a Welbilt! Congratulations on your purchase! I haven't had any problems with mine, and I've had it for two years. THAT being said... the little stirring-arm-thingie keeps getting baked into all my loaves, so be aware!

My dear departed aunt got me a breadmaker as the last Christmas gift I got from her.... it is a precious gift to me.

I love using it at night and waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread! There is nothing like it!

I use it alot to make dough. I like making cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls. I buy the breadmaker mixes from Kroger for a dollar and they work wonders!

Great deal! I LOVE Tuesday Morning!

You mean it's not supposed to do that?!? Mine always does that. (It's a Red Star machine.)

I have the butter and jelly out......

and I usually only use it on Sundays to make bread for our suppers....I buy the flour in bulk and also the yeast ...and then I got some add ins from King Arthur Catalogue ......I love their products.....I make a mean pumpernickle bread from regular white bread recipe and add the pumpernickle stuff....yummy......

Piratesmate - no, it's not supposed to, and it didn't at first, but now it does every time a bake a loaf. We have to always perform surgery to excise the arm!

Hmm, thanks for reminding me about my breadmaker. I haven't used it in a while. I'll have to get some yeast so I can bake while I sleep.

I have used mine over the years more for pizza dough than for bread. Homemade pizza is over the top for me.

Oh what a great deal!!!! Now I am longing for my breadmaker, I miss it so much! Because the electricity in europe is different I had to leave mine in storage in the states.... Anyway, enjoy your new purchase, there is nothing like the smell of fresh baked bread.

On this particular model, the paddle bakes into the loaf and it has a little thingy to pull it out without damaging the loaf. That is the part I think I won't like. It does automatically eject the loaf (sounds interesting).

I couldn't pass up the deal though and I may not wait until Christmas I could think of something else to get for myself from DH right
