I've been wanting to make bread but have no time for kneading, rising, etc. This machine had good reviews and I trust Cuisinart so I bought it. It arrived a few days ago and I already have made a Raisin Pumpernickle and Cinnamon Raisin breads. It's SO easy with the instruction/cookbook that comes with it - after adding ingredients you press a few buttons and everything is done for you from mixing, kneading, baking!! You can add nuts, raisins, choco chips, whatever you like when the signal goes off too. I like the light crust I did on the cinnamon bread, my other half likes the medium crust that I did on his pumpernickle. This machine will get ALOT of use in this house! Anyone can do it if you read the directions. I bought all the ingredients from the King Arthur Flour site so when the bread machine arrived I was ready to go! Absolutely delicious bread the first try!!! Don't pass this one by, its worth every penny."..." Read more
