I’ve always thought breads were one of the most universal foods. Anywhere you go in the world there’s bound to be some kind of bread in the local food. In our household fresh bread is a regular thing. There’s something about the smell of fresh bread in the air that’s good for your soul and very yummy for the tummy. But breadmaking can be a bore and have often kicked around the idea of getting a bread maker, just never knew which would work. Thankfully, Con submitted this review to me which makes me think the Panasonic is the one I’ll be getting soon. – Lynette
