A multicooker with a bread maker mode is an indispensable assistant that simplifies life in a modern kitchen. Almost every multicooker has a baking program in its functionality, however, the main difference from a multicooker with a bread-making mode is that the device will be able to knead the ingredients and maintain the required temperature throughout the entire baking process, the one that is needed for bread. Such a device can completely replace the usual bread maker and save space in the kitchen. The article will describe in more detail the properties and advantages of multicooker with a bread maker (2 in 1), as well as a rating of the best ones that customers liked.

Pros and cons of a multicooker-bread machine

The main and obvious advantage of a multicooker with a bread-making mode is saving kitchen space, since one device replaces two. Other benefits include:

energy saving;
complete with the device there is always a recipe book specially for this multicooker model;
almost every device is additionally equipped with a steamer and yoghurt maker;
the device itself mixes all the ingredients for the dough.

Such a multicooker has minor drawbacks, for example, users of some models complain about frequent breakdowns of the mechanical dough mixer. And also due to the fact that in most multicookers, heating takes place only at the bottom and on the sides the bread is baked without a crust on top. However, if this is a fundamental point for the future user, then the problem is solved by purchasing a device with a three-dimensional heating function.

How does a multicooker with a bread maker function work and what can be cooked in it

The function of making bread in a multicooker works extremely simply - the user only needs to put the necessary ingredients in the right amount in the bowl, the device will do the rest, including kneading the dough, independently. The bread baking process takes approximately 4 hours. After cooking, eating bread immediately is not recommended. If you take it out and allow it to cool on a wire rack (so that the bottom of the bread is not soggy), the taste will be richer and more elastic in appearance.

For baking, it is best to choose wheat flour, as the product made from dark flour will not bake completely. However, you can add sunflower seeds to the dark flour and then the bread will bake well and the taste will be more pleasant. You can also make gluten-free bread, milk and French, in a multicooker with a bread maker mode.

Recommendations for new users: it is imperative to remove the protective film from the device, otherwise the dough will not rise well and there is no need to leave the cooked bread in the heating mode for a long time, as it will remain moist from the bottom.
