I'm just curious why this recipe needed to be changed for the bread machine. This is one of the many recipes on your site I bookmarked for trying out my new Zo, even prior to seeing this blog post. I noticed many of your recipes don't seem to need any adaptation at all.
This is a high rising loaf of bread containing 4 cups of flour so it may overflow your bread pan if you try to make and bake it in your machine. But if you only want to knead it in our machine you will be fine using this version. Joan D@bakershotline Dawn, as Joan says, this loaf is rather large for baking in the machine. It works - but needs less yeast, in order not to go crazy and overflow. And since the machine kneads so thoroughly, it can take additional water, too. It's true, most recipes don't need any tweaks to be made in the machine. Good luck - enjoy. PJH
