1 tablespoon water








DIRECTIONS


Place 1 cup water, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast into bread machine pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough cycle, and press Start.

Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Cut dough in half, creating two 8x12 inch rectangles. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12 inch side, pounding out any air bubbles as you go. Roll gently back and forth to taper end. Place 3 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make deep diagonal slashes across loaves every 2 inches, or make one lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.

No most bread mixes are designed to be universal. You may have to ';tweak'; the recipe(normally the amount of water used) to get the perfect mix.





If you are looking for the manual go to the attached sourceI bought a used Hitachi Hb-B201 Bread Machine. Do I need their recipes or can I use others in it.?
Use any bread machine recipe you want.


The one that always goes in my machine is as follows:


3 c. flour, but it must be strong white or brown flour


1 1/2 t. yeast


2 TB. sugar


1 c. warm water


1/4 c. oil


1 1/2 t. salt


Thats it! and its really a wonderful bread.
