Raw ingredients or bread mixes?
Using a breadmaker is quick and easy, whether you’re using raw ingredients or the ready-prepared bread mixes you can buy at the supermarket. For convenience, using a bread mix just has the edge – you only need to add water and sometimes butter, everything else is supplied in the pack. However, if you prefer to control what goes into your bread, it’s better to bake a loaf from scratch. It takes only a few minutes to get the raw ingredients ready, and you can choose precisely what goes into your bread. In terms of cost there’s not a great deal between the two methods, but using raw ingredients is typically cheaper.
