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 think it’ll do the crispy crust, but depending on what you’re making, it can only prepare the dough and you’ll have to bake it in a regular oven. Its baking pan is kind of shaped like a small bucket, so everything bakes into that shape.
