Breadmakers in Montenegro

Bread machines are great. Most people buy them because they’re tired of store-bought bread. They want fresh bread and they want to be able to control their ingredients – lots of people follow a gluten-free diet and have a hard time finding gluten-free products. Plus, with the right bread machine, you can save lots of money over the long run. 

But how do you know which bread machine is the best for you? How do you know what features you will need?

Kneading paddles

Kneading paddles come in different shapes. Some machines also have one specifically for dough and a replacement specifically for pasta. Most machines should come with at least one paddle, but two is recommended to knead the bread well. Dual kneading paddles work almost as well as kneading by hand or with a stand mixer. Machines with single kneading paddles may include a spare paddle too. Also, you may want to look at whether you can remove the paddles after the kneading cycle. This is important if you do not want bread that will bake with the paddle and leave a hole at the bottom of your loaf. Some bread machines will notify you to remove the paddles before it enters the baking cycle.

Delayed timer

A really nice feature to look for when buying a bread machine is the delayed timer. The delayed timer function allows you to select when you want your bread to start baking. For example, you can add the ingredients to your bread machine just before going to bed and set the timer to start baking at 4 a.m. in the morning. As soon as you wake up, you will have freshly baked bread. How awesome is that?

Programmable options

We found that bread machines don’t differ that much in pricing between the brands or based on the size of bread it bakes, but when it comes to programmable options, the more your machine has the more you tend to pay for it. Programmable options are useful if you want to control, for example, how dark or light you want your crust to be, if you want to knead the dough without baking it, or if you want to bake the dough without kneading it, or how long you want it to rise, knead, or bake. As you can tell, programmable options give you full control. Machines also come with pre-programmed settings such as gluten-free, whole wheat, French, and sweet. So you’d want to choose a bread machine that has the programs you want to easily make the types of bread you want. Higher end models also give you the option to program your own cycle if the machine doesn’t already come with a cycle that suits your needs.
