Bread makers are equipped with a timer so that they
can be loaded at night before going to bed, and be set to start in the
early morning. This helps the user to have a freshly baked loaf ready
for breakfast.
History of Bread Machine
- It was invented in Japan in 1986.
- It came to the United States in 1987.
- The introduction of bread machines was embraced and applauded by
American consumers.
- Americans enabled time press cooks to bake most breads but were
not quite as good as the store-brought kind.
- Then bread machines came up that provide loaves made without
chemical additives and with nutritional boosters like wheat germ and
non fat dry milk.
These machines produce a loaf that may be slightly smaller and in
a different shape than a traditional loaf of home baked or commercially
made bread. Machine loafs are generally tall with a rounded crown. As
the demand for bread machines grows, the food retail business is zeroing
in on the bread machine market. Grocery stores now devote shelf space
for a variety of bread mixes and supplies to be used in bread makers.
