What recipe do you use for sandwich bread? I also have a Zoji, and my
attempts at sandwich bread didn't come up with a light/soft enough loaf
to meet the needs (my younger one likes peanut butter sandwiches folded
over, and all the sandwich bread I made in the thing had too much body -
the slices always broke when I tried to fold them). I probably didn't
try hard enough - the breads I like are kneaded and baked without
benefit of the bread machine, so it has been relegated to the garage,
but I'm willing to give it another try...
