I highly recommend getting one of these bread machines. Making your own recipe costs less than half of the price of a pre-sliced loaf at the grocery store. Better bread, less money, what more can you ask for. Plus, cleanup is almost nothing. The loaf popped out of the teflon pan with ease. One quick rinse and I'm ready to go again.
Hey StoneySauce, I have the same machine and love it! It works perfectly for me.
One lesson I've learned is to block that puppy in, on the counter. Somewhere around my 10th loaf, it walked itself right off the counter and fell to the floor, scaring me and the cats about half to death. It's a tough one. A little plastic damage, but it still works perfectly.
If you cruise the net, you'll find that you can make many other things in it besides bread. Soups, puddings, cakes...
Very cool machine! Congrats on the purchase!
Jalapeno Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup water
3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, in small pieces
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped canned jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese or finely shredded Mexican blend of cheeses
Preparation:
I used undrained chopped jalapenos from a small 4-ounce can, but alteratively, you could use mild chopped chile peppers from the can or chop canned jalapeno rings.
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan according to your bread machine manufacturer's suggested order. Select white or basic with a light or medium crust.
Use fewer jalapenos or mild chile peppers for a milder bread. Makes a 2-pound loaf.
