A bread maker is a lot like a top-loading automatic washing machine. It
goes through a cycle, is partly programmable, and reduces the amount of
attention you have to give to the job. It has a rotating agitator. It
sounds a little like a washing machine.

You will still have to give twenty minutes or so per loaf for measuring,
cooling, slicing, and packaging.

Since it's a lot easier than hand-making the bread, you may start making
all your bread. If you do, don't reuse the storage bags, because mold
grows in the bags and makes the bread get moldy sooner.
