Hi Margaret,
I have an older Breadman Machine and a newer one. Of the two I like the
old machine better. Both make good bread. With the newer machine it has
three rises where the older one has two. I did a side by side with the
same recipe both came out the same but the older machine finished about 30
min faster if I remember right. I have lots of recipes but the ones I use
the most are from the "Breadman's Healthy Bread Book", by George
Burnett. Look around at the bargin book sites and you should be able to
get it for about $4.00 from some of the used book stores on line, like
<www.half.com>. I order a lot of book from there - it's a good first place
to look for books.
I did not have a lot of luck with the Elite recipes but the transition
recipes are all good. If you get the book email me and I will tell which
are my favorites by page number. Oh I have found for a 1 1/2 lbs.
recipe usally use 2 tsp of bread machine yeast and they turn out
pefect. I usally use Red Star bread machine yeast that I usally can find
at of all places Wal-Mart.
