Carolyn,
Then your experience (on your "stinkpot", lol) will be like home...
I hate breadmakers... they are worthless, IMO...
Better to get a Kitchen-Aid Mixer, and do it yourself...
and a Kitchen-Aid Mixer takes about the same amount of space (or less) than a breadmaker...
a Kitchen-Aid Mixer is much quicker to use...
and is a multi-taskers, rather than having only one reason for existing...
and the bread baked in a pan (or a french bread mold), won't have that stinking hole in the middle...
Both a breadmachine & a Kitchen-Aid will have the same ingredients for the bread...
I'd look at websites (like
www.allrecipes.com) for good recipes...
You might want to make a good
sour dough starter, and keep it alive during your travels, also...
(pretty easy to do)...
fresh baked sour dough bread is the best for making baguettes, dinner rolls & sandwich bread!
