I don't think it takes AGEs even the old fashioned way, but I'll settle for my two minutes as I know I can find that time, maybe manually it only takes 20-30 minutes of work, but that is not a small amount of time.

It's not so much the time to do it by hand - I really enjoy that. It's being there to "look after" it during the week. I'm not a morning person, so couldn't get it to oven before I leave in the morning, and usually have lots of other stuff going on in the evenings. Even if I started it off as soon as I got home, it would be quite late before I got it to the oven

Mine takes 1 min 20 to do, as I just timed it!

I have my bread maker with the flours, and other ingredients all set out in the utility room, and jsut have to take a jug of water in to start with, and a knife full of butter.

Depends on the recipe... one of my favourites is a herb bread, it takes a while to chop the herbs from the garden.

I could win if I just tip in a premixed packet... but that would be cheating

If I make it by hand it can take a wee while as you have to mix and then knock back etc. I'm not exactly the fastest though. I make a lot by hand but I do admit to using the breadmaker quite a lot too. I make rolls though, not loaves now as I had a lot of problems so its 2 minutes to load it (wait 1 hour and 20 - time to have shower, brekkie and feed baby and chickens) then divide into rolls (and leave to rise for 10 minutes then bung in oven for 15 mins).

I take 10 minutes, including getting everything out and washing up, and I don't see how I could do it in less time. It's still quicker than walking to the bread shop.

I've been wary of bread makers, ever since I stayed over at a friend's house in the room next to her kitchen. she told me not to worry, the machine would beep at my getting-up-time (6 am) just like an alarm, and that would wake me up. What she didn't reckon on was the constant noisy mixing it did for an hour at 3am.

I don't even use a loaf tin. Mix dough, think of someone's face and knead, put somewhere warm for an hour and a bit, then bake for 25 minutes. My input is about 12 minutes.

2 mins 20 secs But I do have to go to the dining room to get the flour out of the dustbin, and I did have to clean out the pan. The time included getting everything out of cupboards etc.

I bake by hand, (don't like my loaves with a hole up their bottoms)it takes me about 10 mins of measuring and kneading,then a couple of hours letting the dough rise.Another 2 mins to knock back and shape,40 mins to prove and 40 mins to bake.So about 3 and a half hours altogether but only 12 mins of hands on time.

The big advantage of hand baking is that you can make several loaves at once.I usually do 4.
