Even a bread machine can't beat fancy bread
Bread machines make awful bread.
Hand bake it and it will be much better. It's not really hard or time consuming... it's just a lot of waiting for the rise. I make a lot of rye/whole grai breads and the rise often takes 2 hours or more.
My rye sourdough ferments for 24h. That takes some planning.
you don't have to make sourdough? also it's 24 hours is just a scheduling problem. you don't have to stare at it for 24 hours.
pretty easy for me to make a sourdough loaf at 9pm, and then come back to it at 9pm the next day, bake it for 30m then go to bed. it's also pretty flexible. sourdough can sit for days after the rise in the fridge before you bake it.
