I have a Black and Decker and make bread quite often...I just stopped and put on a batch! Recipe:
In this order put in mixing pan
1 large egg
1/4 c water (can measure in glass measure with milk)
3/4 c milk
3/4 t salt
3 c bread flour (King Arthur works well but have also used Winona flour I can get in 50# bags from Amish store)
2 T butter
2 T sugar
1 t yeast (Red Star dry yeast is what I use...buy in the big foil packet, put some in a pint jar and refrigerate. Freeze the rest until I need it.)
Takes 3 hr 50 min cycle. If I want raisin bread, at the 3:15 mark, machine beeps and I add 1/2 - 2/3 c raisins and 1/2 c walnuts. When raisins are soft, they get blended in. Didn't find this out until I used up some older harder raisins (LOL) We will have fresh raisin bread for breakfast! Now I'm salivating waiting for warm bread on this chilly wet fall day in NE Iowa! I also have access to farm fresh eggs and milk (unpastuerized).
I have had fails...yeast gone bad mostly. One really needs to use bread flour. It has a higher protein content and really think King Arthur is best.
