Abstract
An automatic bread producing apparatus includes a member defining a baking chamber having an opening. A movable lid serves to selectively block and unblock the opening of the baking chamber. A bread mold is disposed in the baking chamber. A controller generates a command signal. An added-food feeding device disposed in the lid is operative for feeding added food into the bread mold. The added-food feeding device is automatically activated in response to the command signal generated by the controller.
