Thanks for the info. How small is the mini loaf?

Think ksi mentioned somehow that the pan is 15cm x 15cm x 17cm, so the loaf cannot be anything bigger than that, right?

Yes, it is super tiny and super cute, can just imagine it without having to even look at the machine or the bread it produces, right? That's why Happy Mama calls hers cute, cute pillow! :lol:

So much talk about bread arh? Since it only cost list $2 per commercial loaf that means you must bake at least 200 times to make back your investment in the machine ... and that is discounting the cost of the ingredients. Sure anot?

Ah... but dear Chief, nothing beats homemade bread. Sure, the commercial ones are cheaper and convenient to get. There's also a lot of variety in the market too.

But there's something special about homemade stuff. The family gets involved and there's a sense of growing excitement in the air. Everyone takes furtive peeks into the window of the bread machine as we wait expectantly for the bread to rise.

Very soon, as the machine works its magic, smells of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, permeating our home with comfort and warmth. Such are the memories of love that we want to linger on for our children.

Finally, the machine beeps. My children whoop with excitement. The bread is ready. We gather around the table as the bread is being prepared to be sliced and served. Crusty on the outside but tender loving warm and soft on the inside. Nice. :love:
So, to borrow MasterCard's ad lines,

Breadmachine: $318
Bread ingredients: $10
Joy of baking homemade bread: Priceless

Guess, there is really some things that money can't buy.

Happy Bread Making, everyone :celebrate:

Wah... you certainly make it sound so poetic... now I need to borrow a piece of your yummy roti to wipe off the tear at the corner of my right eye. Anyway, schweppes, you are right. It's not 400 pieces of bread that you need to bake in order to recoup the investment in that thing. For Happy Mama, it's 401 given the sad accident that happened to that poor piece of dough that was her first experiment :lol:

Schweppes,

This can be a review for some Kitchen Appliance magazine or a chapter taken from a novel .... NICE :love: :love:

Your style of writing here reminds me of those writers specializing in magic realism .... you know like the author from The Mistress of Spice and Isabel Allende who wrote The House of Spirits :celebrate: :celebrate:
