Hi Nan,
My kids didn't really like any of the recipes I was trying, until I started
making Challah, an egg bread. I usually make the dough in the machine and
then braid it and bake it in the oven, but I've also baked it in the
machine, and it's good that way, too. I don't know where I got the recipe
-- it may have even been in the Digest. Anyway, here it is:

Challah

7/8 c water
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/4 c honey
2 eggs (beaten)
1/4 c butter (I use canola oil and it works fine)
4 c flour (I use regular unbleached)
2 t yeast

If you bake it in the oven, you can brush an egg wash on it (1 egg yolk, 2
tsp water) right before putting it in. This makes for a softer crust, so my
kids eat it, whereas the machine-baked crust is harder, and they don't eat it!

Good luck!
