Costco carries the mixes. There are like 4 different kinds in the package.

I have several bread maachine recipe books. I use my machine lots. Sometimes to make pizza dough, but lots of loaves. There are mixes in the stores in my area....Hawaiian Sweet Bread is the flavor that my family loves. You may just have to ask where the boxes are located.
I am very willing to send you some recipes, if you just want to PM me...

Our Walmart still has the bread mixes and I use the recipes from my manual and have also found some on line. Really enjoy using it.

buy yeast in 1 lb. packages at Sam's. Really saves money

How do you measure it then? Is it individually wrapped??? or do you have to measure it yourself? How?

Most bread recipes mention the amount of yeast in their ingredients. I use 2 teaspoons. I keep a small jar of yeast in the fridge, the rest goes into the freezer. It keeps there for at least a year. If you are new to bread making: start your machine with all the ingredients, wait about 10-15 min, check and see if the dough is too dry or to wet, it should be by then an nice, slightly sticky ball. If too dry, add a little water, if too wet maybe 1 or 2 T of flour. Now restart the machine, works for me.

I use my breadmaker all of the time and also use my mixer to knead the other "HOMEMADE" bread. My kids do not like my homemade bread since it turns out pretty dense. They would eat the yucky white Wonderbread if I let them.
Thanks for the hints...will try them.
When I see the cost of bread in the stores...homemade not only gets rid of the high fructose corn syrup, but is so much cheaper...kids will just have to suffer.

you should be able to go to Allrecipes.com or Tasteofhome.com and find recipes for Breadmakers. I have one and use for breads, rolls, pizza dough and pretzels. I use the manual book with recipes for most, but I also have a book that is dedicated just for breadmakers that I purchased at a Sam's club I believe years ago. I would check Half.com. That is where I purchase alot of my books, including quilting.

A few years ago I realized that I had lost my manual to my bread machine and found this site on the web. She has many good recipies and a pretty good manual.
