My main reason for purchase is for winter-time pizza. You can't really get the dough to rise much in the cold, and this thing makes dough as well as cook it.

i love having a breadmaker, but you owe it to yourself to make bread from scratch once in a while. try making a potato or german rye bread. its very rewarding, and enjoyable.

it does do a good job raising pizza dough. try adding 1/4 cup of asiago or parmesan cheese (or both) to your dough when mixing the ingredients. mmm...
