Breadmakers are versatile in the loaf sizes and crust colours they offer, but many come with settings that extend beyond the realm of simple bread recipes. Here are a few other ways to make the most of your gadget:This clever function means that if you are using the breadmaker and it is accidently unplugged or switched off, the breadmaker will continue baking from where it was stopped in its programme when power is restored. Pizza dough: Some breadmakers come with specific pizza dough settings that take care of kneading and rising – ideal for making classic margherita pizzas, barbecue pizza, or calzones. See our pizza dough recipes for more inspiration. If you’re one of the gluten-free eaters — due to health reasons or personal choice — you can absolutely still use a bread maker. Many of the bread makers we’ve looked at to compile this list include gluten-free options as a baking pre-set. What other features to bread makers offer? The handy 13 hour delay bake function gives you the freedom of freshly baked bread at your convenience. You can set the delay feature at night so that you wake up to a freshly baked loaf for breakfast, or you can set it before a busy day so that you can come home to a crusty loaf to accompany your dinner.

As for the results it produces, Sarah was a big fan: "Amazing quality and very tasty. The quality of the loaf it produces is exceptional; it looks super impressive and smells so good, even as it is cooking." She also described the taste as "superb".
