If your Facebook feed is anything like mine, then it probably contains an explosion of vivid food shots. Home-cooked meals, that would put even the great Gordon Ramsay to shame. Baguettes and pizza dough are two items many people are making and both these foods can be made to perfection in a bread making machine. This handy piece of equipment takes new significance in the time of COVID-19, when many people prefer to make fresh items at home. If you are looking to buy a machine, these are five of the best.
