No, no, thank you! It gave me hope till the recipe book arrived. Which was quite promptly after I called and asked.

I’ve gained ten pounds since I bought the thing. :eek:

Oh, well, **EddyTeddyFreddy** , you know what they say. All’s well that ends.

And I see it’s going right to your end. 🙂 😃

I was thinking as I read this thread “I’ve always wanted a breadmaker…” then I read **EddyTeddyFreddy** ’s comment.

Thank you for reminding me of the fact that I am already carrying around a few more pounds that I ought to be.

No breadmaker for me!

Sorry, I didn’t notice the thread was resurrected until today. You did the right thing; I make it as a 1.5 lb loaf. Made some a month or so ago for an Italian themed pitch-in at work & it disappeared QUICKLY.

Glad y’all like it. 🙂

Here are two recipe links that made my cut:  
[http://www.bhg.com/home/Bread-Machine-Recipes.html](http://www.bhg.com/home/Bread-Machine-Recipes.html)  
[http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipe/bread-machine-recipes.html](http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipe/bread-machine-recipes.html)

BTW, if you can figure out how to make a good basic white sandwich bread loaf, please do tell. My results have been less than spectacular and my wife is not a fan (she does like the bagels and crescent butter rolls).

Play around and we should start a bread machine recipe swap in a few weeks.

Yesterday I made the Parmesan herb loaf recipe. I didn’t have oregano on hand so I used rosemary instead. I added about a teaspoonful of minced garlic.

YUM.

Now I need to try out my machine’s extra feature – making flavored butter. MMMMMMMM… garlic butter…
