That’s pretty much it. I love it.
I’ve been making bread at home since covid. Used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the dough hook until now, but that always left a huge mess to clean up. Now I prep a week’s worth of dry ingredients in ziplock bags and only have to clean up one mess. I use butter powder rather than regular, and that makes things super convenient.
Before I go to bed, I dump in the water and one of the ziplock bags, set the timer, and have fresh bread waiting for me in the morning.
I had bread machines for awhile, but they all invariably broke down, the last one leaking horribly. I’ve taken to using my stand mixer to make the dough without having to knead, and it’s been working for me! Not quite as set and forget though. Unless I want to take a nap to bread rising and wake up to dough taking over the kitchen!
