Bread makers are machines that only bake bread. They claim to make it so super-easy that you can eat freshly-baked bread every day for the rest of your life.

To use a bread maker, just add the ingredients of bread (flour, milk, yeast and so on) and turn it on. The machine will make dough from your ingredients and then bake it into a loaf of bread. The bread, although tasting good won’t last very long because of the lack of preservatives.

However, you can experiment and be creative with bread makers. Because they make bread so quickly, they make it much more convenient to experiment with ‘strange’ ingredients. You can make bread with your favourite cheese in it, for example, or chocolate, or some kind of herbs and spices that you like. There are many websites on the Internet devoted entirely to sharing interesting bread maker recipes.

Basically, if you just want bread, you’re probably better off buying it from a shop. If you want unusual, customised experiments in bread, however, then bread makers aren’t very expensive, and getting one could be a good choice for you.
