I was recently reading about the Chorleywood process of bread making which for decades has given us the uniform plastic wrapped bread which makes up the bulk of what's available on supermarket shelves, even the store baked crusty loaf is probably produced by the same method. More yeast than traditionaly made bread as well as added chemicals doesn't make it the tastiest or perhaps even the healthiest of breads.
I remember a thread on here a while back about breadmakers and it seems a few on here preferred to bake their own. I use mine to knead the dough but finish by hand and for soda bread I do it by hand.
So, over to the panel. What do you prefer and why? Would you make your own for economic / taste reasons or is it too much of a faff? Would you pay a bit more for tastier, traditionally made bread?
