Okay, my breadmaker is not a fancy Morphy Richards – just a plain little Sunbeam. It makes great stretchy dough for pizza and hot fresh rolls and fantastic strawberry jam… But bread – not so much. So I’m going to try your recipe in the morning and see how it goes. Thank you
Hey Sharyn
It sounds like a little champion, that Sunbeam. We look forward to hearing how this recipe turns out.
