ST. LOUIS — Remember last spring when it seemed like everyone was baking bread? Sales of bread makers have skyrocketed! They are up nearly 500 percent in recent months.
If you felt a little pang of jealousy, it’s not too late to jump on the bread bandwagon, just in time for chillier weather.
But not everyone has the time or patience for all the rising and kneading that making bread from scratch requires. Even the Dutch oven bread that’s popular on the internet has several steps.
Bread makers have been around for years, but newer models are more versatile, turning out gluten-free bread and pizza dough in addition to basic breads. Just pop in the ingredients, set it, and forget it until the smell of bread fills your kitchen.
Consumer Reports tested a variety of breadmakers and reveals which ones rose to the top of the list.
Testers baked white and whole-wheat loaves of bread in each machine using recipes from the books that came along with the appliances. The machines were scored on how easy they were to use, how noisy they were, and whether the loaves were evenly browned.
Of the three machines tested, the Zojirushi Home Bakery Maestro BB-SSC10WZ for $360 (not available in Canada) was a standout. It makes golden-brown 1-pound loaves. The displays are easy to read, and the machine features an automatic ingredient dispenser for adding nuts or dried fruit at the right time.
For much less, the Breadman 2-pound Professional Bread Maker BK1050S for $130 ($390 in Canada) makes nice loaves, but the display panel is small and doesn’t show the steps. It can make loaves from 1 to 2 pounds.
