Jennifer,
I don't have the sweet bread recipe you're looking for, but hope these
will assist you in converting your recipes for use with an ABM.

Basically, if your recipe calls for 6 - 7
cups of flour, divide the recipe in half for a 1 lb
loaf. Your ingredients will be approximately:
7/8 - 1 cup liquid
2 - 2 2/3 cups flour
1/4 - 1 tsp salt
2 tsp - 3 T fat
2 tsp - 3 T sweetener
1 1/2 - 2 tsp yeast
You may have to experiment a few times to get it just
right. Watching the dough as it mixes helps to produce
good results. It should form a smooth, pliable,
slightly tacky ball of dough about half way through
the kneading cycles. If it appears too wet or too dry,
add more liquid or flour a tablespoon at a time, as
needed. Linda in San Diego . . . . . 09/13 10:36 pm

Any recipe calling for approximately 6 cups of flour
(which can include cracked wheat, old fashioned rolled
oats, etc.) can be converted for us in bread machines.
6 cups in the magic number because it can be easily
divided by 3 or 2. Every cup of flour represents 1/2
lb. of bread. The math is easy, although the formula
does NOT apply to yeast. And the amount of yeast
makes a significant difference in the outcome of the
bread. Take my word for it ~~ my calculations for the
yeast conversions work.
FOR A 1 LB LOAF; Divide all the ingredients in your
6 cup recipe by 3 except for the yeast. Put the
ingredients into the machine in the order specified in
the manual. Use 1 tsp. of yeast for white flours
breads. For breads containing whole wheat flour,
increase the yeast to 1 1/2 tsp. If you find that the
finished bread is dense, next time increase the yeast
by 1/2 tsp.
FOR A 1.5 LB. LOAF; Divide all ingredients in half,
except for the yeast. Put the ingredients into the
machine in the order specified in the manual. Use 2
tsp. yeast for white flour breads. For breads
containing whole wheat flour, increase the yeast to 2
1/2 tsp. If the baked bread is dense, next time
increase the yeast by 1/2 tsp.
