Bread Machine Recipe

When did bread become $5.00 a loaf?  Isn't that a sign of something dire?  I'm not an economist but I know when it's time to take action. And in this situation, what would any woman would do who has a Dak Turbo IV bread making machine in her cupboard?  Buy a bag of flour and fire it up!  Actually, I couldn't find the instructions because SOMEONE had recently thrown them out in a cleaning frenzy..."Do you really need all these cooking magazines?" he asked.  "Umm...well, I supposed not." I replied weakly, knowing that I obviously DID need them because otherwise why would I have saved them?  Following some unspoken law of the Universe that says whatever you have kept but never looked at for 10 years and suddenly throw out, you will immediately need...sure enough, a couple of weeks later I discover that the Dak Turbo IV bread machine instructions were in that stack of magazines.  Luckily, someone had posted the entire set on the internet - how thoughtful!  My daughter was enthusiastic about the project - she remembers me using the bread machine in her early childhood - so she went out to buy flour and yeast.  We started with basic white bread.  The whole process is simpler than I remembered.  In fact, all you have to do is plug it in, set the clock, add the ingredients, and press START.  I will say that the finished loaf unfortunately lacks visual appeal due to the bullet shape of the baking canister (I think the newer machines have the more traditional loaf shape), but it tastes very nice, especially toasted, and probably costs less than $1.00 per loaf. Also, you can set it on the timer and wake up to a fresh loaf - or, if you suffer from insomnia, you get up and make a loaf at 3 in the morning.
