It's a really great (and cheap!) recipe for delicious homemade bread. A few years ago it only cost something like 13 cents per loaf to make. Not many people have run across it because (1) it's in the free section, which not many people visit, and (2) it keeps disappearing because it's not posted in that often. I happen to have family coming into town and remembered to dig up the recipe, so thought I'd post a PSA :biggrin:
Bread machines are like home exercise equipment; people buy them, never use them, and then sell them for cheap, so unless you're absolutely set on buying a new one, you can score a good deal on a used one pretty easily - eBay, Craigslist, Goodwill, friends, neighbors, yard sales, etc. There's some good discussion in the thread about the use of scales to weigh ingredients as well. Some links to specific useful posts:
Whole Wheat version: Great modification by Muse if you want to go a little healthier.
Agave nectar version: In place of brown sugar; it makes the bread more moist & rise less, so you can fit the slices in your toaster if you have a weird-shaped "too-tall" loaf pan like mine does (2-pound Breadman TR875).
Meatloaf recipe: Using RideFree's bread as an ingredient, and also for meatloaf sandwich bread slices.
Streamlined procedure: I use a dedicated cup with a marked line on it for the water, plus some other stuff just to make it quicker. My family LOVES this stuff. You can set things up so that it's super easy to make daily or weekly.
