Printer Version
Updated. © 2006

These charts are to offer you an idea for creating or converting your own bread marchine bread recipes with various flavors or additions. Chart One will produce a basic white bread, or a basic bread with whole wheat added. You will have to watch the kneading process. If the bread gets too sticky, then add up to 3 tablespoons flour. If too dry, or not balling, then add 1 tablespoon of water and wait a few minutes. If still not balling, add one more tablespoon of water. When adding more whole wheat, your recipe will require more water (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Remember, never use salt. Have Fun!
