How does a breadmaker work? Do you just put ingredients in there and it does its thing without further input from you?
More or less. There are some breads where you're supposed to come back when it beeps and add an additional ingredient -- typically that will be the case if you want to fold in dried fruit or chocolate chips or something, and I think there are some "swirled" type breads with similar requirements. But for a basic loaf, yeah, you dump everything in, and in a few hours you get bread.
I bought Xta a high-end model for Pick Your Favorite Winter Holiday; it's significantly better than the one we used to have (which got damaged a few years ago, and they no longer made parts for it).
