There’s something sexy about a fresh loaf of bread….

I have a bread maker that can make a wonderful loaf of French bread or challah. Just dump the ingredients in, turn it on, and come back in six hours. I stopped using it because always having fresh bread in the house is a great way to get fat.
 
I want to scale down the automatic bread makers to make a tiny loaf every day. Maybe a week or month preloaded. The bread loafs would be just big enough to fill the house with the smell of fresh bread but not too much bread to stuff in your face. It would be more like a fresh baking bread smell air freshener.
 
I make about a loaf a week in cold weather. I use the same dough to make pizza and naan, so I often have a little dough ready to go in the fridge.
 
I learned to bake bread during the late 70s at a restaurant in Madison called The Ovens of Brittany. I would make dozens of croissants and morning buns along with French baguettes and whatever the bread of the day was. Almost 50 years later and I'm still at it. I refuse to use any sort of mixer I do it all by hand.

However, I'm with @jp_nyc - I make it much less frequently these days because I can't burn the carbs like I used to.
