bread machine
Automated dough baker
A bread machine is a countertop appliance that automates bread-making—mixing, kneading, rising, and baking in a single programmable unit.
Users add ingredients, select settings, and return hours later to a finished loaf: I set the bread machine before bed and woke up to fresh bread.
The loaves have a distinctive shape from the machine's baking pan.
