I've been experimenting for years with my breadmaker and have found the
best is the simpliest. I just put some on. Tossed in a tsp of yeast, 2
1/2 cups flour, tsp salt, scant cup of water, tsp or two of crisco, and
a splash of vinegar. Set it on dough cycle. Then when done I divide
into 3 parts each I can roll into a baquette or rolls. I usually bake
one or two and frig the rest. I bake at 400 degrees on a stone and
spritzz with water/vinegar 2 or 3 times while baking. Works for me!
