Hi, 
I am new to this group as well as the process of bread making. I had never 
baked a  bread in my entire life until we bought a bread-maker a couple of 
months ago. We have a Breadman and so far I have only experimented with the 
recipes taht came with the machine. Unfotunately, the crust comes out too hard 
and my kids don't seem to like it. 

My question is, if I chose to use the bread machine to do the kneading and 
rising and then use a regular oven to bake the bread, at what temperatures and 
for how long should I bake a 1.5 pound bread loaf?? The same question goes for 
making pizza also. 

Also, can anyone recommend good bread-making recipe books?
