Hi all,
I have a recipe book - Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time by Lora Brody.
For each recipe, there are 6 separate recipes three of which are Hitachi,
Panasonic and Zojirushi.
Until I adjusted the liquidity ratio of my DAK/Wellbilt recipes to the
liquidity of my Zojirushi machine, the old recipes didn't perform well at all.
The liquidity adjustment / hand recipe conversion can be found in the Norman
Garrett :Quick & Delicious Bread Machine recipes book.
I posted the conversion to the list earlier this year, and am trying to find
a copy of the post so I can resubmit it.
Peace,
Gerry
