Bread-Bakers v101.n026.9

I am sure this topic has been covered before and maybe in the archives but 
I was not sure what to search for. My question is that I love making bread 
in my bread machine but I am never happy with the outcome. Is there anyway 
to get the texture more like store bought bread? Is this a function of the 
preservatives they use or just the ingredients? Does it make it softer if I 
add more oil and decrease the liquid? I am on my second breadmaker and it 
does not seem to have anything to do with the particular brand. The one 
bread that seems to be a little better is a bread made with rice (white, 
wild or brown) added as one of the ingredients. Any suggestions or recipes 
would be welcomed.
