We also bought a bread making machine from a thrift store. I use it to knead the dough, then transfer to a greased (buttered) basin to rise near the fire - then make a French loaf shape on a greased oven tray; bake 30mins at 400F.
Cautions:- Generators and gas barbecues should never be used inside. They exhaust carbon monoxide, which kills.
Small gas stoves should have adequate ventilation.
