I got my first breadmaker :)

[Aerows]

I'm so pleased. I'd be delighted to have some new recipes

1. Start off with the ones that came with the machine

because they're gauged so that you won't get a cookie in the bottom or have dough spilling over. Then you can work on your own variations in flours, goodies like nuts and raisins, enrichments like butter, cream, and whole milk. Once you figure out how the machine works, the possibilities are endless.

Just use the recipes that came with the machine first. Then experiment.

3. ^^^this

follow the easiest included recipe a few times first.

[Aerows]

6. I will

that seems like sensible advice. I'm so excited about it, though

[Aerows]

4. Thank you for the advice.

I'll do that. I can hardly wait to try it out

9. +1. I wasn't that impressed with the recipes that came with my machine, but they did work.

I used to bake the bread in the machine all the time, until my sister sent me a 16x4x4 pan. Since then, I've used upscaled recipes to make the dough and bake a little less often.

2. What does he or she look like?

As Warpy said, use the recipes that came with the machine. I still use the ones for my Breadman, though I've scribbled a bit in the margins for adjustments and conversions (such as weight of flour per cup.)

Show off your first loaf here if you like

[Aerows]

5. I will!

I know it's silly, but I'm as excited as a kid in a candy store to use it.

[Whisp]

8. I've used mine hundreds of times and each time I take that loaf out

it's a mini event. it's a great room freshener too - baking bread smells wonderful.

You will absolutely love it.

Most store bought bread tastes like something Monsanto might bake now that we are used to home made.

7. Sweet.

What kind did you get?
