for the breadmaker.

also, how do you slice your bread?

I'd really like to make this myself. Buying it is costing an arm and a leg.

You can buy a plastic thingy at walmart to slice your bread. You put your loaf on the board and then run your knife between what looks like mini pickets. All of your bread comes out uniformly sliced. BTW I bought mine at a garage sale for .10.

I use an electric knife, my slices come out pretty even.

The following recipes are for My bread machine, a Regal, Model No K6725. Yours may be different in the operation of it. The recipes will be the same, just different on how your's works. Mine has you put all of the wet ingredients in the bottom, then the dry on top. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and put the yeast in the well.

Classic White

I have to go do laundry now, but I'll be back later to post some more. Let me know what you want, i.e. whole wheat, sour dough etc.... I also have more white recipes that are actually tastier than this one. This one is great if you want to set everything up the night before. It doesn't have anything in it that will spoil at room temp.

Thank you both for this information! :)
