Warning: Our holiday bread recipe is dying because nobody wants to knead dough by hand anymore

We used to knead dough as a family, but now everyone just buys it ready-made.

What's next, calling takeout a home-cooked meal? If using a bread machine is cheating, then I guess we're all guilty... But seriously, the whole point was doing it together, right? Now we just press buttons and wait... feels kind of empty. Maybe the recipe isn't dying, just the way we connect over it. Still, warm bread is warm bread, machine or not.

Do bread machines count, or is that cheating too?

The machine still makes a house smell like home.
