As was mentioned above, the machine can be used to just make the dough. Baguettes and danish, and sour dough are on my list. It usually takes 3-5 attempts until I figure out the art of it. Baking is definitely more than just science. OK actually it is science if you know the humidity and atmospheric pressure and probably a few other specifics of the location you are baking at.

I am retired and I like to learn new things. When I tire of this I will sell the bread machine and move on to something else.
