Hi.
I realize it's a mixer, but the bosch universal has made it possible for me to make 2 loaves in about 15 min...1 hour 30 min if I count baking, rising. I only let it rise once (in the pan) for about 15 min in a warm oven (spritz whole wheat with water for best rising), then take it out and preheat to 350. I make bread weekly for my family with it, mainly for health (and $$) reasons. www.pleasanthillgrain.com has some great bread making items, which really simplify things.
