Basic bread machine recipe

2 3/4 t  yeast
      1 t  Malt
     11 oz Water (110 - 120 deg.F)
      3 c  Whole Wheat flour
    1/2 c  Unbleached white flour
      2 T  Sugar, honey, molasses...
      1 t  Salt
      2 T  Gluten
 
  put yeast and malt into machine with several oz. of water.  Use a
  thermometer
  for the water.  Too hot will kill the yeast. The yeast will now proof
  (start
  to multiply) In a separate bowl, measure out all dry ingredients and mix.
  After a few minutes, yeast should be bubbling, add dry stuff and any
  liquids
  including the water.  start the machine and see how it looks. If too dry,
  add
  until it looks right.  Should be one big mass not several.
  flour:  I often substitute 1 cup of corn or rye + 1 heaping T of gluten
  for a
  cup of WW flour.
  For sweet breads, add another few T of sugar (I commonly use honey,
  molasses,
  or malt powder) and may some raisins.
  3 T of carroway seeds or sesame seeds in a non sweet bread is great. I have
  also added 2 mashed bananas, then cut the water.
