I have the Zoroushki (sure it's not spelled right) It's actually my 2nd one. I love it. King Arthur Flour test their recipes with this one and you can find alot of recipes for it there. Mine does a couple sizes of loaves, it does cakes, fast rising, dough, breads where you need to add ingredients after the mixing it beeps to let you know when, and it does jellies,it has delayed baking so that you can have fresh baked for dinner or when you get up in the morning, it makes sure the liquid is up to the right temp before mixing so that the yeast will rise properly; it just does all that it's supposed to do and last a long time

Bread machine
I bought a Breadman Bread Machine. Very happy with it. I use a recipe from Allrecipes.com
It is a very, very good recipe. I make cresent rolls. Others make cinnamon/raisin rolls with the dough. I love making the dough, then take out before baking in machine and shape rolls, then let rise for another hour, then bake in reg. gas oven. Rolls are fantastic. Always get great results and compliments. The recipe is called, "Sweet Dinner Rolls" by Pam Anderson. I hope this helps. Recipe is a 5 star recipe. Read the reviews.

I use mine for making pizza dough, and once in awhile a loaf of bread. I would use it more, but then I want to eat the bread too much and with just me here to eat it, better off only making bread when I have company or am taking a loaf to someone

I don't like the way it cooks the bread at all so I put it in a loaf pan after the first raising, let it raise again and bake it in my oven. Peggy
I do that too. I have a Wel-bilt and it won't bake a decent loaf of bread. It always falls , but the same exact recipe raises just fine in a loaf pan. I use glass bread pans.

HA My sister and I are the queens of $5 thrift store finds. Here is what I would look for. One that hasn't been used much. Look for one that is tall rather than wide. Figure on making the dough in there and letting it rise - then shape and bake. I think we found info at http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/ca...d/breadmachine

Thanks everyone for your all suggestions and tips. As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to the Goodwill to see what I can find. I love homemade bread and rolls but since there is just me, I figure I'll gain a bunch of weight just smelling it cook...lol But I think maybe the neighbors will like it too....

When we got it I thought I would bake occasionally so we could have fresh homemade bread. But we don't buy any bread at all. Our 2 sons that were still at home at the time don't want any other bread!
It is pricey, but you get the quality that you pay for. I bought mine from Amazon. I would never buy or recommend a different brand because of the versitility and dependability of this one!! A 5 star rating for sure!
