bread maker

also called bread machine · breadmaker

A cooking appliance that kneads, proofs and bakes a loaf of bread in one unattended cycle, in a single removable non-stick pan fitted with a kneading paddle. Beyond any cooking appliance's heat regulation (here program-selected — it runs the whole knead/rise/bake program automatically) it answers its loaf capacity (the loaf weight it makes — the pool's first mass-rated capacity), the course menu it offers (cooking_program: basic, whole wheat, French, sweet, gluten-free, dough, jam, rapid, pasta dough — the same recipe-preset concept a pot cooker offers, re-declared here per L5), and the crust shade it can set (light / medium / dark). Distinct from a toaster oven (a settable radiant air cavity that bakes any dish, sized by cavity volume with oven_function modes — a bread maker bakes only bread in its own pan and is sized by loaf weight), from a stand mixer with a dough hook (it mixes dough cold and neither proofs nor bakes — a food-preparation appliance, no heat), and from a non-powered loaf tin (unpowered bakeware, not a member here).
