The Vegetarian Resource Group had this "formula" at their website. I 
thought it might be useful for those wanting to design their own breads.

I have a question, though, since this uses 3 cups of flour, wouldn't this 
actually make a 1 1/2 lb loaf?

Most machines have you place the liquids in the breadpan first, then add 
the dry ingredients on top, ending with the yeast, but since some have you 
do it in the opposite order, check the manufacturer's instructions. If you 
are so inclined, freshly ground flour can make a big difference in the flavor.

The following are some of my personal favorite recipes. Follow the 
instructions for your breadmaker. I eat the bread as is, fresh from the 
breadmaker.
