Under the "French" setting, it rests for 2 hours, kneads
quickly (10 minutes), then allows to rise for another 4 hours, which
would be fine.
Funny, the "Rustic Sourdough" setting kneads much longer and
has quite a short rise.
When my Mom's burns out, I'll get her one. She's too old to
knead. 90 + arthritis etc.
A search on Amazon USA came up nihil, and it's announced as
"European". Any idea of cost ?
