Did you not get a "manual" with the breadmaker!, one which includes recipes."The Bread Book" by Simon and Alison Holst is very good - if it's not actually in stock in your bookshop, Paper Plus will send away for it.
As I understand it, each make of breadmaker is different from the others, and the ingredients need to be put into the pan in a certain order, so it would be really helpful to you if you could get the handbook belonging to your one.

stephanos, what brand of breadmaker do you have!It may be possible for you to get an on-line version of the manual/recipe book for the machine that you have - try doing a google search.
Our bread maker is a Panasonic and I have the Operating Instructions and Recipe that came with it so if you have a Panasonic I have the recipes that are particularly suitable for that brand of machine.
IMO most recipes though can be used in any machine but the size of loaf produced by the machine in use must be taken into account.In some cases the ingredient quantities may need to be adjusted if the machine is capable of making a smaller or larger loaf than that specified in a recipe.
Hope that helps.:-))

On the homemade bread thread which is on here somewhere someone posted a generic white loaf recipe that will work in any machine, i've used it in mine(same situation as you didnt have the manual) and it turned out really well. i'll go and get my recipe book and find it for you.
