I'm too lazy to do anything that doesn't bake in the machine, but it's still way better than anything that comes in a plastic bag, and it's more convenient than running by a bakery.
I found a set of directions that had me do a starter (I guess like the poolish?) the night before running on the dough cycle, very wet - makes quite a difference in the flavor.
