5 Alternatives to the Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker (Including Bigger-Budget Picks)

First up, the KLAIF Electric Pizza Oven Indoor is the closest budget-friendly “fun appliance” buy here, though it’s not a breadmaker at all. Compared with the Morphy Richards, it’s better if you want fast, high-heat cooking for 12-inch pizzas on a UK worktop, especially in flats where outdoor ovens aren’t practical. The 420°C max temperature and ceramic stone are a big win for crisp bases and proper blistering. What’s worse is that it only does one job, and it’s much less versatile than a breadmaker for dough, jam, or loaf baking. Choose this if your real goal is pizza night rather than daily bread.

The Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven is a premium alternative for people who love the idea of restaurant-style pizza at home. It blows the Morphy Richards out of the water for heat and speed, reaching the kind of temperatures breadmakers simply aren’t built for, and it’s portable enough for a patio or garden setup. The downside is obvious: it needs outdoor space and wood pellets, so it’s not a neat plug-in appliance for a standard UK kitchen. If you’ve got the garden and want proper Neapolitan-style results, this is a serious upgrade.

The Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven is the most flexible of the outdoor options. Compared with the Morphy Richards, it offers more cooking drama, more versatility in fuel choice, and much higher temperatures for authentic pizza in around 60 seconds. It’s ideal if you want to experiment with wood or gas and care about the flavour and char. But it’s far less of an everyday appliance and requires outdoor use, so it’s not replacing a breadmaker for Sunday loaf baking. Pick this if you want one of the best portable pizza ovens rather than a bread machine.

The Ooni Koda 2 Gas Pizza Oven is the most polished and convenient outdoor option here, especially if you want fast ignition and less faff than solid-fuel ovens. Versus the Morphy Richards, it’s a completely different beast: more expensive, much hotter, and far more exciting for entertaining. The trade-off is cost and space, plus you’ll need to be comfortable with gas setup and outdoor cooking. It suits people who want a premium, low-effort pizza oven for garden gatherings.

Finally, the Kwasyo 8 Tray Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator is the odd one out, but it makes sense if your real interest is homemade food prep rather than baking bread. Compared with the Morphy Richards, it’s better for preserving fruit, making jerky, herbs, and snacks in bulk, with a timer and adjustable temperature. It’s worse if you specifically want fresh loaves, dough programmes, or a keep-warm breadmaker. Choose it if you’re building a more varied kitchen kit and want a practical appliance for batch drying.
