Claim:
A bread maker, comprising: a main body forming an oven compartment; a pair of kneading drums spaced apart from each other inside the oven compartment, each kneading drum having a holding part holding opposite ends of a mixing bag filled with dough; a drum driving part rotating the kneading drums in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to knead the dough contained in the mixing bag; and a controller controlling the drum driving part to rotate the pair of kneading drums in a same direction to thereby separate the mixing bag from the holding part of a first one of the kneading drums and to move the mixing bag by winding the mixing bag on a second one of the kneading drums, after kneading the dough, and to rotate the second one of the kneading drums in a releasing direction opposite the winding direction after the mixing bag is wound on the second one of the kneading drums to partially unwind the mixing bag from the second one of the kneading drums, to thereby enable a user to remove the mixing bag partially unwound from the second one of the kneading drums.
