After many months of reviewing our needs to purchase a bread machine, we finally took the plunge and bought one on Friday. It costs us about US$60, but it was worthy every penny! We tried out the white bread recipe on that night, and it turned out beautiful! The aroma from the bread machine after the bread was baked was just amazing! The steps to baking a bread is so simple that even my husband can bake his own bread! This is definitely a worthwhile investment for us.
