I've lost the recipe book for my breadmaker. Can I use any recipe for it or do they need to be manufacturer-specific? If not, any recommendations for a tasty loaf?

Adding sundried tomatoes and a teaspoon of mixed herbs works well. Surperb with scrambled egg.

I have always used the recipe from the flour maker, never from the breadmaker. Thus:

400g of strong flour (usually White or granary)
1 - 2 teaspoons of yeast (brown needs a bit more than White, and I often add less when the yeast us fresh and a bit more as it gets older)
1 tsp of salt
a slug of oil
240g/mls of water

do try your making your bread with no sugar - it makes much nicer bread, providing you use good flour.
