Panasonic Automatic Bread Maker with YeastPro Sdyd250

We were solely impressed by our friend's Zojirushi bread machine when they gave us a loaf of freshly made bread. Instantly we were sold on the idea of making our own breads in the comfort of our own home, and I loved that home made bread is without preservatives or artificial ingredients (well you know exactly what goes into your food!). I hunted on the Internet for a reliable yet affordable bread machine and was leaning towards Zojirushi (even though it was more expensive), but the Panasonic model caught my eye with its variety of features for such a great price. Not to mention it could make up to XL sized loaves, and had an automatic yeast dispenser. I went with the Panasonic and have had no regrets. It is very user friendly and the timer is very simple to use - Waking up to the smell of fresh baked bread is truly homely. Walmart.com processed my order efficiently and I received my bread machine in a couple of days.

It is a great, all-around product. My only issue is that I don't know how to get rid of the "rest" period so sometimes bread takes longer to start... up to 30 minutes sometimes.
