The power of the web is demonstrated best by it's abilty to turn thousands of dollars of machinary into, essentially a note pad for later reference :)

Notes:
* liquid: 1 bottle of warm beer = 11/2 cups water. water is fine in everything, if you wish to avoid
alcohol, in fact potato water is best of all, if you ever remember to freeze and save it. Any veggie
water is good, since it 'harvests' the vitamins. Milk or skim milk works fine too, and adds protein.
* flour I use stone ground whole wheat, but bread machine white flour...seems to rise better.
For multi-grain, I use a bread mix as opposed to just 'multi-grain flour' The 'mix' has white flour in it,
and rises better, and can be substituted in direct proportion to any other flour. I keep my flour in
the freezer, and take it out the day before I plan to use it. Unfrozen, pitch it after 6 months or so....it's
cheap! Oh yeah, I usually have about 40% white, even in whole wheat. 100% whole wheat is awfully
dense, but undoubtedly healthier! I have never tried 50 - 50 whole grain and multi grain mix...that might
be good.
* Other Sweeteners - honey, sugar, even molasses, are pretty much interchangeable. for oats, I
use either rolled oats or scotch oats. Don't use 'instant' anything. There is a relationship between yeast
and salt, which affects degree of rising. I like to have a significantly greater amount of yeast than salt.
I use the bread machine yeast in the little jar, and keep it in the fridge. If your bread overrises, it will
implode at the top... tastes just as good, but it's not as pretty. Use the little sets of measuring cups
(dollar store).... they are so much easier and faster than the graduated glass jar type!
