Polder Breadmakers

A breadmaker is a home appliance for baking bread, it handles the process from ingredients to a finished loaf automatically. The machine consists of a bread pan with a paddle mounted in the centre, in a special purpose oven, with a control panel.

To use the ingredients for bread, flour, water, salt, sugar, yeast, butter, and milk powder (or fresh milk) are measured, and added to the bread pan; the pan is placed in the breadmaker. The machine takes a few hours to make a loaf of bread, first by turning the ingredients into dough using the paddle, then baking the loaf. When it has finished baking and has been given a chance to cool down the pan is extracted from the breadmaker, and the bread freed from the pan.
