History of Bread Machine Baking Month
There is nothing more blissful than biting that crispy, warm loaf of bread on a cold, wintry day! Especially if that is homemade bread made from your very own bread machine. This is what Bread Machine Baking Month of January is all about.
January is a cold month that makes people crave hot, aromatic foods and is a perfect month to enjoy loaves of bread. But bread baking has always been an effort-exerting task, only mastered by a few. But this situation soon began to shift with the invention of the bread machine in the early 1900s by a clever young man named Joseph Lee.
The initial versions of the bread machine had a simple working methodology — you just feed in the ingredients and the machine will take care of all the kneading (the most tiresome part of the baking process). Bread machines can also make loaves from store-bought mixes and also can be used virtually in any dough creation such as pizza bread, cinnamon rolls, or baguettes. This rapidly cut down the amount of work and labor needed to make bread.
Over the years, the bread machine was further advanced to improve its efficiency and along the way, lower the cost of making the bread too. Nowadays food has become more accessible, and with the current busy lifestyles of many, old-fashioned homemade bread has become a long-lost tradition. But with a bread machine, baking bread at home has become as effortless as ever. So, let’s celebrate this month of January with fresh bread made from our bread machine.
