New Bread Baker

Hello!

I'm so gald to have found this website.  For several reasons I've decided to get serious about making my own bread.  I hope this isn't sacrilegious, but I have a simple bread machine and would like to use that for my baking or at least mixing the dough.  This is mostly a convenience issue as I work full-time and have little time to actually wait 90 minutes for bread to rise etc.  Making bread by hand seems very time consuming.
