Bread-Bakers v097.n050.2

Someone asked about a crust that was very hard and too brown in her Sanyo
bread machine. You might try increasing the fat in the recipe, use milk
instead of water, and allow the bread to cool in the machine. I assume you
are using a light crust if you have one. If not, you might try taking the
bread out 5 or 10 minutes earlier.
