I thought I'd post this recipe, WE LOVE IT!:

Favorite Bread Machine White Bread with Variations
1.5 lb loaf

1 cup water (wonder what some buttermillk in there would do?)
2 TLB oil
2 TLB sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast

put in machine in order given use whatever
settings you desire for a 1.5 lb loaf

Now the reason I REALLY like this recipe is that it is VERY forgiving. I add stuff to this all the time with success some of my adds have been:

dried crandberries
verious spices from italian type (garlic!) to pumpkin pie spices and anything in between!

I also like to add sweetened ginger, cinnamon, raisins, craisens, nutmeg, allspice (of course not a lot of each)

1/4 cup dried fruit (like for fruitcakes) and a tad more sugar

These additions have good taste, but are funny looking:
chocolate pieces
olives
meunster cheese chunks (toss in on top of flour) or both olives and cheese and garlic, hot pepper flake or two ...

If you do adds you may want to check the machine after the second knead to see if it looks "right" like a kneaded dough should look adjust and reset machine if not.

Oh and I use olive oil sometimes as well. You can interchange oil and butter in recipes

Good luck!
