Help. I bought a bread machine for my wife for Christmas and cannot
locate a user's guide on line and I don't want to open up the box. I
know she is going to want to bake bread for Christmas dinner so I want
to have the supplies she will need ready that morning. What do I buy
if we will probably want to make Italian loaf of bread or maybe a sour
dough bread? When she had our previous machine, which later broke, I
seemed to remember her using a store-bought bread mix and adding yeast
of some kind. Thanks! I am in center city Philadelphia too if
anyone knows of any places to suggest to buy.

You don't need mixes. All you need to make basic bread is "all-purpose"
flour, salt, "bread machine yeast" , a little olive oil or shortening, a
little sugar and water.

Google Bead machine recipes.

You'll be all set.

Giant, Pathmark or ShopRite would all have what you need. The bread machine
yeast is in a little jar in the dairy section, so don't despair if you can't
find it in the baking aisle. Your best bet might also be to buy 'bread
flour' instead of regular, as bread flour has a higher gluten content. Does
she have a good 'bread recipe' book? Check by Barnes and Noble or someother
book store (I think there is a bookstore in the Gallery) and get one, peruse
it and see what they call for. Any 'specialty' ingredients can be acquired
at either the Reading Terminal or in the Italian Market.
Good luck

Jeffy, I'd advise you both get a box mix (she may not want to fiddle too
much that specific day) and the ingredients for a basic bread (so she can
fiddle if she wants to). Check the box mix as some have the yeast in there
already. I don't like the boxes myself but then I can load a machine in 3
mins flat with ease and it's waaayy cheaper than the boxes. Like, they want
4.99 for a boxed white at my local store but i can make a loaf with my own
measured stuff in 3 mins for less than 50cents.

A small jar of Fleishmans 'breadmachine yeast' (or other brand, look for
'rapid rise' 'instant', 'breadmachine'.). Fleishman's recommended only
because it's easy to tell you have the right type.

Flour- 'better for bread' or ones that say 'breadmachine' in the white
types. These have a higher protien than 'all purpose' general flours and
are more apt to lead to a successful result for all, but especially one
who's a beginner and used to box mixes. Will only cost slightly more. Kind
Arthur is also a good brand. If all you see is 'all purpose' try to find it
in King Arthur brand. If not found, just go 'all purpose'. Do NOT get
'self rising' flour. Thats for biscuits and soda breads, not yeast breads
from a breadmachine.

Regular sugar, she'll only need at most 3 TB for just about any recipe so
you probably have it.

Salt, regular table salt, again won't need much and can be iodized or plain.
Pickup a box if in doubt (no, can't use 'salt replacements' and have the
bread come out right but even if on a reduced sodium diet, it doesnt use
enough to be a problem).

That and water will make a loaf. Other suggested things to have handy (in
order of use): milk (may need a little more than a cup, I have a cannister
of dry powder and just mix as needed), eggs, butter (can be margarine),
olive oil (can be other vegetable oils but stick to the lighter 'thin' types
like you'd use in a salad dressing), honey (the cheap type is fine for
baking), brown sugar, nuts (broken walnuts are cheap and will save breaking
them up, anything you like but they need to be unsalted or will throw the
recipe off), raisins, cinnimon. This is for white breads. You do NOT need
to get it all in one shot. Just look over the list and see what seems
useful to add this trip of what isnt handy already. Yes, I literrally put
them pretty much in order although we can quibble the order in the later
ones.

Now, if you want to try whole wheats or ryes (again, in order pretty much
but you'll see the 'aded things shift order) add to the basic yeast, white
flour, sugar and salt: whole wheat or rye (or both), honey, brown sugar,
eggs, raisins, butter or oil, gluten powder, nuts, milk or milk powder,
caraway seed, cinnimon, browning bannanas.

Gluten powder aides the 'rise' in whole wheat or rye breads. Suggest
starting with recipes no more than 50% rye or whole wheat (or a combination
thereof) and 50% or more white 'better for bread' flour if going to try the
'not just white flour' versions at the start.

If you tell me the size of the loafs the machine is made for and what types
you are looking for, I can return recipes for you. Oh, and warn me if you
arent in USA as some of those product names shift (example, breadmakers
white flour for machines is called 'strong flour' in the UK).

Don't need bread machine yeast, any ordinary dry yeast works just
fine.

And if the OP would have given the ABM brand and model number I bet I
could find the owner's manual on line (the fact he didn't suggests
troll, especially since they owned a previous machine - they all work
the same). The lazy lying ******* never even looked.

He probably needs quantities though, George. If he gave us the make,
perhaps we could help him get a user's guide online.

Thank you for all who responded, including the person who called me
lazy. Make and model is Breadman Stainless Steel Breadmaker. Paid $99
from Target. Here is additional info cut and pasted from the website:
DPCI: 242-03-5966
ASIN: B000FZZ0VE
Catalog #: 10428008

I did find the Breadman web site but no luck with a pdf owner's
manual.

I will go to the supermarket and look for a mix and the yeast, as
someone helpfully suggested! Merry Christmas!

Breadman makes good machines. I've had good luck with Krusteaz
Sourdough bread mix. True sourdough is a world better but also much
more complex, and the mix is a decent replica. Back when I was
learning to make best use of the machine, the book Bread Machine Magic
was invaluable. -aem

It helps if you actually know the model number. What you got appears to be
the Breadman TR875, though the Target web site doesn't bother to let that be
known. (The same item appears on the Walmart web site, and the model number
*is* given.) The manual can be downloaded at

That's bullshit, since he said they already had a ABM previously that
died... so they had to already know what ingredients they needed.

No biggie, anyone coulda, took less than five seconds... like I said,

Quit being so antagonistic. Not everyone cooks and he didnt want to tell
the wife (who apparently does) what he got her so she could give him a list.

Exactly. I never used the old bread machine! I am glad some people

Would you like I should post the definition of "parasitic symbiotic
opportunistic low lives".

You think anyone believes you, you probably used that machine more
than your wife did, and you're the one who busted it is why you're
springing for a new one... of course you know what ingredients are
needed for an ABM... next you're gonna claim you don't know if your
wife trims her pubes. Now that I'm sure you don't know... widdle
jeffy... you better get all the right ingredients or your wife
Katrinka the Powerful will whup the shit outta your puny widdle jeffy
lying ass with her ten inch dildo! Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .

Be at ease and hope Xmas went well! Not all folks here are worth conversing
with as sadly some are more interested in making waves than just answering
basic questions.

I hope as it seemed, my answer matched the need. I suspect I added too many
'optional' things and freaked you out but it was not deliberate.
