In response to Al Sherman: I have tried several recipes from this book with
mixed results. Most did not seem to rise properly even thought the recipes
called for 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast for the one pound size loaf. I have an
Hitachi breadmaker and mostly use recipes from ELECTRIC BREAD and a Panasonic
bread machine book. I have had no problems with my Hitachi except that I am
wearing out the pan and blade because of making several batches of grapenuts
bread. Incidentally, I wonder is there is a difference in Hitachi bread
machines sold in the U.S. and Canada. It seemed to me that the problems
occurred in Canada but not in the U.S. I could be mistaken but it would be
interesting to know is that is the case.
