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:

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…
