Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SD-RD250 Automatic Bread Maker with Fruit/Nut Dispenser

Customer Review: A Tale of Two Loaves
Summary: 5 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It was the best of bread, it was the worst of bread...

Making bread has been a passionate endeavor throught recorded history. As children we learned about The Little Red Hen (Little Golden Book) and her extraordinary dedication to making a loaf of bread. More recently in 52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning, and a Perfect Crust William Alexander recounts his year long quest to make the perfect loaf of bread. Obsession knows few limits as he plants and thrashes his own field of wheat, and endlessly feeds his family his latest creation.

So could i, a mere mortal, compete with such dedication? I opted for technology over art. I gave it a try with this acclaimed bread maker from Panasonic.

I dutifully went to the grocery store to round up all the ingredients necessary to make a perfect loaf of bread. I had such great confidence in the very precise recipes included with my bread maker. Carefully I measured bread flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. After adding the appropriate amount of water, I programed my bread maker for a rapid loaf. Then I pressed the start button and made plans like to enjoy my perfect loaf. The smell of fresh bread filled the house. I couldn't wait.

Ok, you know where this is going. It wasn't perfect. In fact, it wasn't even edible.

Before I put the bread maker aside to sit forever in a dusty pantry next to my electric wok and fondue set, I went through the directions one more time. Suddenly I saw it. This-not growing your own wheat- is the real secret-WEIGH don't MEASURE the flour.

Giving it one last try, I first bought Salter 135 11-Pound Mechanical Kitchen Scale with Clear Bowl, Chrome. Then I repeated it all-every ingredient,carefully weighed or measured. I waited. And waited. Surely no one would want to help me eat the bread. Finally it buzzed.

With great trepidation I pulled it from the infernal contraption. The color was right-golden brown. The shape was right-like a little toaster. The smell was even better than before. But I had to wait. By this time lots of volunteers offered to be the official tasters.

But there was more than enough for us all. Perfect bread in two tries. The Little Red Hen and Mr. Alexander would have approved.
