Here are a couple of recipes -- the bread mixes are for SWMBO -- she will
not measure ingredients into the bread machine, but will make a prepared
mix.

The foccocia is popular with the family members with the flavoring added.
Leave all but the pepper and garlic out and you have a great pizza crust for
flat pans, screens, or a chicago style pizza pan.  Leave out the pepper and
garlic and it makes a good plain italian style loaf.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        *** Dry Ingredients For a 2 pound Loaf***
   3      tablespoons   sugar
   1      cup           whole wheat flour -- fresh ground
   1 1/4  cups          whole wheat pastry flour
   1 1/4  cups          bread flour
     1/3  cup           gluten flour
     1/2  teaspoon      salt -- kosher preferred
                        ***At time of baking for a 2 pound loaf***
   1 1/2  cups          warm water
   1      tablespoon    vegetable oil
                        Dry ingredients above
   2      teaspoons     dry yeast
                        ***********
                        *** Dry ingredients for 1 1/2 pound Loaf**
     3/4  cup           whole wheat flour -- fresh ground is best
     3/4  cup           whole wheat pastry flour
   1      cup           bread flour
     1/4  cup           gluten flour
     1/2  teaspoon      salt -- kosher preferred
   2      tablespoons   sugar
                        *** At the time of baking- 1 1/2 pound ***
   1 1/4  cups          warm water
   1      tablespoon    vegetable oil
                        dry ingredients for 1 1/2 lb loaf
   1 1/2  teaspoons     dry yeast


This approach allows prepackaging of dry ingredients for bread machine
baking.  Storage may be in canning jars or in other containers such as zip
lock bags.  I print address labels with the "at time of baking" ingredients
and place them on the container.

The 1 1/2 pound loaf dry ingredients fit in a 1 quart canning jar or in a 1
quart zip lock freezer bag.  I have white plastic screw caps for the canning
jars for sealing the jar (from grocery store).  A canning funnel helps for
filling the jars (green plastic from grocers but also have aluminum version
from years past).  I have found that filling a mason jar and then using the
canning funnel at the mouth of a 1 quart zip lock bag allows transfer to the
bag with minimum of mess and hassle.  I make 6-10 bread mixes at a time.

For 2 pound loaf, larger jars or larger bags are needed.

This bread has a good high texture with a lot of "spring" from the gluten.
Depending on the moisture of the flour, an additional tablespoon or two of
water may be needed during the initial kneading in the bread machine.

Variations:
Replace the whole wheat with spelt flour or triticale flour in the dry
ingredients
Replace the whole wheat with rye flour in the dry ingredients and and add
either orange peel or caraway seeds with a tablespoon of molasses when
loading the bread machine.
Add a package or two of instand oatmeal to the measuring cup before filling
it with whole wheat flour.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/4  Cups          warm water
     1/4  Cup           olive oil
     1/2  Tablespoon    Monterey Seasoning Salt or oth2
     1/2  Tablespoon    italian Seasoning
     1/2  Teaspoon      garlic powder
     1/2  Teaspoon      seasoned pepper

   4 1/2  Cups          best for bread flour
   1 1/2  Teaspoons     dry yeast
   1      Tablespoon    sugar

Sized to make dough in a breadman 2 pound bread machine --  This is a
maximum load on the bread machine
This is a nice size for a kitchen aid mixer with a dough hook.
Put ingredients into pan and run dough cycle.

Check as kneading to assure the dough is soft enough to not overload the
bread machine.  Add a tablespoon or two of water as needed.  ( different
moisture contents in flours will change the amount of water needed for a
batch)

After the dough cycle finishes, press the dough out on a pizza pan (either
flat or chicago deep dish style) that has been lightly oiled.  allow to rise
until doubled.   bake at a 375 degree oven until browned about 20-25
minutes -- cool for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting  into wedges and
serving.

This is a large flat loaf about an inch to inch and a half thick 14-16
inches in diameter..

This is a good bread with lots of flavors -- it is good served with a meal
or for sandwiches.  Bread and spreads form a good supper on  nights were all
are tired.  Good sliced

Options:

Brush the top with olive oil before baking
Brush the top with olive oil from dried tomatoes before baking
Push small indentations into the top and put dried tomato strips (from dried
tomatoes in oil) into indentations before baking.
Push small indentation into the top and put black olives into the
indentation before baking

Slice horizontally and fill with sliced tomatoes, cheese, and peppers

etc
