i love baking my own bread — especially, as we’ve yet to find a swiss bakery capable of producing half-decent bread: the stuff you get here is of the fluffy “sorry, i’ve forgotten my teeth in the bathroom” quality. nice if you have trouble with your grinders and the dentures have a tendency to get stuck in anything a bit more crunchy than a soaked slice of toast…not so enticing if you are after the more substantial stuff.
unfortunately it takes quite a while to bake your own bread (especially as i’m often working late): prepare the dough, let it rise (the long bit really), work on it some more and then bake it in the oven. hence, bread making machines have held some fascination for me ever since they came on the market years ago.
so, today i decided to get myself a bread making machine.
searching around on the internet i quickly found out that my preferred supplier migros didn’t have anything on offer (at least not listed on their web pages).
hmm…so let’s see which model to choose then: bäcker.org was a good starting point. other pages just confirmed what i learned on that page and i decided to get a panasonic device (mainly because of its safety features).
cranking up google led me to weisswaren.ch…and I ordered a panasonic sd-253.
