breadmaker
Countertop dough appliance
A breadmaker is a countertop kitchen appliance that automates the process of making bread, handling mixing, kneading, rising, and baking in a single machine.
Users add ingredients, select a program, and the machine produces a finished loaf several hours later.
The term also applies to a person whose occupation is making bread, though this sense is less common than baker.
I set the breadmaker before bed so we'd have fresh bread in the morning.
