Bread-Bakers v100.n015.21

I have now been experimenting with this machine for a couple of months and 
am very pleased with it as long as one knows the limitations.
It does not produce a  dark brown top crust normally, but I brush the top 
with milk just as the baking cycle starts and it comes out quite nice.
The 58 minute cycle doesn't work except for quick breads. However the 
80  minute cycle produces a fairly dense fine crumb which is ideal for 
making melba toast.  The first time I have ever been able to get something 
like this from a bread machine.  I used the package mixes 13 or 14 oz and 
used TWO but only 1  1/2  packets of yeast.  This superfine crumb means I 
can slice this loaf in less than 1/4 inch slices - perfect for melba toast 
which I usually have to bake in a pullman pan or cylinder pan to restrict 
the rise and get the very fine crumb. The longer cycles work nearly as well 
as the other machines I have except for the Zo which produces a superior 
product.   I have used it for all types of breads with all types of 
additives and  for the price (under $60.00 at Price-CostCo)  this is a good 
buy.
