I received my new unit yesterday and I am am expecting excellent results. The manual suggests bread machine flour or Bread flour. Which one is best?

We recommend bread flour (also known as bread machine flour) because it is a high-protein flour, specially formulated for making yeast breads. You can certainly substitute all-purpose flour in a recipe, but the results will be less spectacular.

I bought this machine for my mom (91 years old) who lives at 3000 feet elevation. She has better results from the bread flour. She does also add a few more teaspoons of water. The booklet mentions the elevation problem and water adjustments. Hope this helps.

I think bread flour makes it rise better than regular flour. Never used Machine flour. Might be the same as bread flour. You never know until you experiment. The machine works beautifully though. You'll like it.

Buy new flour. Buy the kind recommended, my older Sunbeam calls for bread flour. Honestly you will not believe the difference. I use instant yeast that I get at a warehouse store . Store in a glass jar in refrigerator.

Re Breadman TR875: I am interested in your "gluten-free" baking results. The only bread machine I have seen for this specific purpose is called the "bready" and it is extremely expensive (~ $400.00).Gratefully,PJM

You have to use Instant dry yeast instead of Active dry yeast in your bread machine. I hope that helps:)

My wife had this issue with a different breadmaker and it turned out to be the yeast not the machine. She had to try a few yeasts, I think it was the humidity in Florida killing the yeast or something.

I use "Breadman." I use the basic setting for 3 hrs, 5 min. It comes out perfect every time. Had this for about 2 years. No problems.

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

I found the "best bread machine" bread recipe on allrecipes.com. It is the best I've ever used.

I use recipes from a bread maker recipe book, not a home made bread recipe that I have for making bread in the oven. It is important to follow it precisley in terms of putting the ingredients in the right order that it calls for. You can find nice bread machine recipe books on Amazon and also the one they give you with this purchase is nice. Hope this helps..

You have to use Bread Machine yeast. Red star is the best. Comes in a little brown jar. Amazon sells it. Also do not use regular flour. Bread flour is superfine and rises better. Make sure it is unbleached.

I use this flour in my bread machine and the bread always turns out great. I never used red wheat so I can't compare them both, sorry.

I have not found one yet. Mostly I look online or at King Arthur Flour for recipes. FYI, the bread recipe that came with the Zo is ok... not outstanding though. I would like to find a good one too!

New grains bakery has great customer support, I don't have their info handy but a quick google search should get it for you. They were REALY helpful and have a great product line!

I have not had that happen with my bread machine. I started on light, but changed to medium because I like a tanned bread but still done through. I have even developed my own banana bread. The first time it was too dense, then I decreased the flour and it was perfect. Perhaps the recipe needs to be smaller to accommodate darkness.

Sorry, I have never used a bread machine. If you use other regular flours instead of premade mixes when you use your machine, I would think this Rye Flour would work just fine for you. Hope this helps :)

I need a bread maker that bakes gluten-free loaves...has a gluten-free cycle....preferably 2 lb., horizontal ("normal") loaves. Help?

I have always had disastrous luck using the whole wheat setting on this machine. I always make whole wheat bread but I use the basic white bread setting. It works great.
