it has a dough setting it kneads for 20 min -30 min then you can take it out and bake in the oven.

yes it does.

Yes, it has other options that range between three hours, and three and a half hours to make depending on the setting. The express bake makes bread in just under an hour, and the machine also has an option to add all of the ingredients and then set a delay timer for it to make bread at a later time. So for an example, you can put in the ingredients in the morning and time it for the evening if you want. :)
