I had forwarded this recipe to my boss and he asked if I thought it was possible to mix the dough by hand and then cook in his bread machine? I didn't think so, but I also have no experience with bread machines. I figured I could at least throw the question out there to see if anyone else knows? Hmm, I suppose technically if your boss has a bread machine that has a bake only setting with no further rises or kneading then it will be possible to bake half of this recipe in the machine. However, I would strongly suggest to bake in your oven if you want a very crisp crust.-Jon I agree with Jon - if he has a Zo he can certainly program it to "bake only," but he won't get the same type of bread AT ALL it'll be spongy/leathery baked in the machine, rather than having the crisp/crunchy crust it gets baked in a regular oven. I don't recommend it. PJH
