Kenwood BM250 Bread Maker, 12 Programs, White

If you're on a budget then the Kenwood BM250 breadmaker is probably the machine for you. It has many of the features included on more expensive breadmakers but for half the price. Measuring 31cm x 25cm by 25cm, the BM250 makes loaf shaped bread, as opposed to a tower of bread which you might get with alternative breadmakers.

 The Kenwood BM250 bread maker gives flexibility, you can choose from a 500g, 750g and 1kg sized bread loaf, depending on how hungry you're feeling that is. There's also a rapid bake function to cook the bread in less than one hour, although does require warm water, extra yeast and less salt.

You can also vary the crust colour with the BM250. Choose between light, medium or dark crusts. In addition, as with the BM150, the BM250 model features a power interruption system.

If you experience a power cut mid way through the baking process, the unit will remember where it was and carry on where it left off.

The bread and dough programs include: basic, French, whole wheat, sweet, gluten free, packet mix, cake, dough, pasta dough, jam, bake and rapid bake.
