What only one kneed , but surprised
I have used bread machines for 20 years probably , the tall ones . But then used the west bend verticals loaf . Had be satisfied , but always wondered why zo reviews were so over the top . First thing I noted was only one kneeling , west bend has two . Looked at that in dim light . Then all those rise times . Then I added ingredence , because I am in Fl. I checked and adjusted to get a nice ball . Boy did the bread rise . I cut a piece and then I understood it was better decidedly better . Having been a user of past machnes for many years , I headed into more personal recipes . Sour dough , the last rise I set for 1 hr 50 min. This gave the bread a depth of flavor . Now for the machine seems well built handles the kneeling well and about as noiseless as can be , but it does make noise . Easy to keep clean . I did notice that the side gets very warm when neading . So far all is well . On a side note being in Florida I wondered about the rest cycle do I need it . My house and flour etc is at 80 . So I sent an e mail to zo and that was a week ago still no reply . But that should not reflect on the machine .
