[Sca-cooks] Reason for a bread maker

[Terry Decker]

If you are looking to make dough which you plan to finish by hand, then a 
high end mixer like the KitchenAide is a much more practical and versatile 
tool than a bread maker.

Should just a loaf of fresh bread be desired, a load, set and forget bread 
machine works just fine.

Since I (try to) do artisan baking, making a number of odd doughs and shaped 
loaves, a mixer is my preference.  Since they both take up about the same 
shelf space, chose the one that works best for you.
