Kelly-
You said you have not been able to get a good loaf yet on the
rapid 69 minute cycle. Do you have the same model as me? Mine makes
great bread on its turbo cycle. However, for bread to rise sufficiently
and have a tender texture on such a shortened cycle, it often needs some
extra help. I use a dough conditioner, and even sometimes vital wheat
gluten, if I think the dough is a "heavy" type. The convenience of the
"instant" bread when you need it is worth addig the "extras", to me.
I know Regal has another "turbo" model, too, made before mine, and if
that is the one you have, I'm not familiar with it. But, I love my
Regal ABM, and I know others who love theirs, too. I hope you can work
out this problem. It's great to know you can get a loaf of bread in an
hour when you need one!
