Best Bread Machines for Whole Grains,French Bread

just a couple of things to consider-it takes several hours to bake a loaf of bread in the machine and you will need to plan ahead and bake your french bread out of the machine or in the oven.

the instruction, for example, tell you to use the french bread ingredients on the five hour (french bread) setting.

it has settings for: regular or firm doughs, regular or light crust, quick baking (for rapidly rising doughs), french bread, dough only (if you wish to bake it separately), cookie/pasta dough, cake,

now i'd like to find some recipes that use more whole grains and experiment a little.

i made my first loaf of bread (french bread) and was amazed at how easy it was and the bread literally melts in your mouth.

i am returning this bread machine, i need a bread machine that can handle whole grains and that doesnt need to be watched so closely.

but my second loaf of french bread(using the dough cycle only)the machine wasn't quite strong enough to get to the end of the cycle.

i have made 3 cinnamon raisin breads and 4 white breads and 1 french bread in the last two days.

(we have done white bread, french bread, cheese bread, and a cinnamon/raison/walnut loaf..

now that we know it makes great french bread, white bread, whole wheat, pumpernickel and an assortment of others - we're going to tackle the jam recipes, sticky buns, pretzels and other features.

we have made french bread, pizza dough and using an old family recipe for home made bread, made a delicious loaf that tasted just like the original.

i made two terrific loaves of french bread during the first 48 hours since delivery of this machine.

the french bread loaf on page 43 is my favourite so far.

pros: crusty french bread, delicious bread, love convection feature, not at all noisy, removal of paddle, simple settings cons: none so far best uses: crusty bread 2 go w pasta, loaves

it makes horizontal loaves, which i want; it has french bread and pizza/dough settings, which i like.

i baked a french bread from the included book.

i have made white, rye, whole grains breads, french, the baguettes and everything came out great.
