I just got a new machine after 15 yrs with the old one. I got the new version of my Black & Decker, but it's so much bigger and 2 paddles. The smallest setting is a 2lb....my other machine was a 1 1/2 lb. Wow its like starting all over. I'm in rural Northern Ontario Canada, and our selection of bread machines is very limited....and I don't order over internet. The cookbook that came with the machine is the worst one I've ever seen, even the operation instructions were not so hot. The first loaf I made was the basic white to try out. This was the biggest loaf I have ever made. If I had added nuts and raisins, I could have used it for a boat anchor. I have improved some, but I'm having fun trying to find recipes for The Bohemith (I named him)....Grinnnn. I love King Arthur and will make my yearly holiday trek there this May. I love your recipes, but Canadian flour is so different from yours. I believe our all-purpose white is the same, but not sure about the best for bread white. Oh well, maybe I can talk to one of the girls about it in May. This will be my last trip to see you as my health will no longer allow the travel, so I will have to make the most of it. Thanks for the wonderful service these past years and thanks for this great site.
