First time owner of a bread maker and it was easy for me to operate. Cleaning is easy. I can't eat gluten so I just used the gluten free setting option so that's the only setting I can check. Working with gluten free flour in general can be tricky, but I did extensive research on different types of flour and what works best with a bread maker before even purchasing this product, so this worked for me. When using this machine, I found that on my first try, even though it was a nice color and size, the inside wasn't fully cooked. Although it was edible. But for my second try, I added an extra 30 minutes with Bake Option #27, and the result was the perfect bread. If potato starch isn't a problem for you, use Pillsbury or King Arthur gluten-free flour. free flour or namaste. I can't use brown rice flour as a main ingredient. If you're using gluten-free flour, be sure to read what the ingredients are in the box, as some of them already contain salt, xanthan gum, and even sugar. I made the mistake of adding salt to another brand of flour that I didn't like (most likely due to this incident), it came out too salty. I almost never add the amount of sugar that is in some of the recipes you can find online because I don't like sweet bread (if you like sweet bread, try it). Tips I use: I follow the directions on the box. Flour, as well as following the owners' instructions not to use more than 3 cups of flour at a time. Adjusting the humidity level in the house definitely helps, too, and don't forget to dust the flour into the pan with a spatula while she's kneading the dough. Otherwise, your bread will be dusted with flour as it bakes. Also make sure your eggs, milk or water (I use water instead of milk - works fine) are at room temperature. Be sure to place the wet ingredients first, then the dry ingredients with the added yeast in the small thumb hole in the center. I hope this helps future aspiring bakers like me. I'm still experimenting with other flours and ingredients. that he only ever bakes one loaf of bread. My family and I are usually done with it in a day or two. πPS If you don't want the dough hook to bake in your bread, take it out before it starts baking. To do this, you must catch it before the bread is baked. I only did it once lol. I have no time for that. It's ok if it bakes in the bread, just be careful when slicing the bread.
