I bought a bread machine when they first came out many years ago. I quickly discovered that the machine did not produce a loaf that made me happy in shape or texture. But using the machine to mix, knead and raise the dough left my favorite part to me; shaping, rolling, braiding, etc. as I love handling the dough. I am now on my third machine, having worn out the other two. All of your tips and instructions for converting are right on. Most of the recipes I started out with were from “ Bread Machine Magic” by Rehberg & Conway. Thank you for your wonderful, wonderful website. I enjoy it so much.
