I've been baking bread for over 50 years but after move to senior housing the ovens are so bad I can't get same results with same recipes. Small apt, bad ovens and over zealous fire alarms going off IF oven goes over 350...This is why I am trying to get consistent bread from bread machine. I have found I can only use about 1\2 tsp of yeast. I'm amazed all bread machine recipes use such large amounts and that folks ever get a decent loaf. Wish I didn't have to bake in machine but having ear splitting fire alarms going off with these newer but cheap senior apt ovens means I have to find ways to use bread machine without wasting from recipes with too much yeast.
