Welcome! Oh I forgot to mention if using a schimi (chile blend) check the
label to make sure it has no salt added. Breadmaker machines are pretty
specific on the amounts in balance of sugar to salt to yeast to liquid.

Also, for best effect you need a higher gluten flour such as 'better for
bread'. You can also get extra gluten in a box and add about 1 TS per cup
flour (2 TS per cup if doing 100% whole wheat).

Since I've been doing the breadmaker thing for over 10 years now, I have
lots of recipies if you have anything specific in mind? Dessert style breads
are a little harder to make but with practice and patience, they come out
well. One of the easiest there is bannana bread. you want banannas that
have turned all brown an yucky <g>. Fresh do not work as well.

I store extra bannana bits in ziplock baggies in the freezer then when I
have enough, thaw and mush in the baggie then make bread.

Since I mentioned that, it's polite to post a few.

Here's 2 and the next 3 posts will have more with comments:

Notice with this one above you need a large breadmaker. If you dont have a
loaf size of 2lbs on your machine, this one is too big.

MMMMM

This one is for the smaller machines or the 1lb loaf setting. The cracked
wheat is a nice touch but if you dont have any, it's ok to leave it out.
You can also substitute some crushed all bran cereal for it.
