Can I use my favourite bread recipes (traditional yeast bread) in my bread machine?
• Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 5 cups dry ingredients (that includes the total amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and oil/butter /margarine to use. We advise creating your own bread recipes using the basic mode, then progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times chart as a guide.
