It is good if you are trying to amuse the children. Make the dough and leave them to make different shaped rolls.

I use mine to make dough and then turn it into pizza. Or just shape dough and pop in oven.
Also fruit breads but don't add the fruit until after the dough it made or it just breaks up the dried fruit and turns the dough a flecky beige! grin

Bichon , my DD + my DIL"s parents both have one .
They rave over them .
I haven"t got one as I try to cut down on my bread intake .
I hope you enjoy yours as much as they both do .

I got one for Christmas but, as I was flying, I had to wait for DD to deliver it when she visited in February. I then left for Sydney, so am really looking forward to trying it out when I get home next week. Hope it makes small loaves as there's only me and I'm supposed to be on the 2:5 diet wink. Let me know how you get on bichon

I have only used mine for bread often putting in a batch overnight on friday, using the timer, and the SMELL when you wake up to fresh bread is quite amazing. I totally blame it for my weight gain!!grin
I love the basic white bread and the half and half white and wholemeal. It is worth sourcing really good flour - organic if possible. But be prepared to find it irresistible!
