Here's a selection. I am normally mking 2 lbs loaves. You should be
able to cut down to 1 lb ones ok.
Also, I normally use dough mode now and bake it in the oven.

Title: Xxcarol's Cheddar Onion Pepper Bread
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 8 Servings
1 1/4 c Milk
1 tb Butter
1 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
1/8 ts Shichimi (can use paprika)
1/8 ts Dry mustard powder
3 1/2 c Flour, white breadmakers
3/4 c Grated cheddar cheese
1/4 c Grated red onion
2 ts Yeast
1 ts Black pepper
SkyHigh bread! Add the ingredients listed and set to 'french' if you
have that setting. Otherwise, 'normal' will do.
Shichimi is a very common Japanese spice mix of hot chile powders.
You can use a powdered paprika or a hotter powdered chile for nearly
the same effect.
This one was made to go with a pot of potato soup, of a german base
where the potato melts away into the soup and there are minimal bits
of carrot and cabbage about.

Title: Xxcarol's Breadmachine dinner rolls
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker, Breads
Yield: 10 Servings
1/2 c Water
1 tb Softened butter
1 ea Egg
2 1/4 c White flour-bread maker type
2 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Yeast (1 pk)
Place all in the pan in the order listed and select sweet dough cycle.
Grease a cookie sheet. Once the dough cycle is done (about 1 hour 20
mins) divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll into balls. I used
waxed paper on a table with a little flour to make this easier. Put
them on the greased cookie sheet and cover with a towel. Let them
rise 30-40 mins until double.
Pre-heat oven to 375 and bake for 12-15 mins. May brush with butter
before baking if desired.

Title: Raisin-Rum loaf, xxcarol favorite
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 12 Servings
1/2 c Sour cream
1/3 c Water
1 ea Egg
3 tb Dark rum
2 ts Butter
1 ts Vanilla powder
3 c Flour
3 tb Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Yeast
1/2 c Dark raisins
Oh this is good! It's a 1.5lb loaf set to white bread. It comes out
a brown color as if it was a wheat bread and it's quite sweet like a
dessert bread.
Needs nothing to accompany it, just slice and eat!

Title: Xcarol's Fav Rye bread
Categories: Breadmaker, Xxcarol
Yield: 12 Servings
1 1/3 c Water
3 tb Butter
2 2/3 c Flour, white or wheat
1 1/3 c Rye flour
3 tb Brown sugar
2 ts Caraway seeds
1 ts Salt
3 tb Gluten powder
2 ts Bread machine yeast
A high rising bread, this one will take to whole wheat in part or all
of the bread flour. Increase gluten by 1 TB if all whole wheat. You
cvan also use regular white sugar in place of the brown.
This is for a 2 LB loaf, select whole grain is you have it, if not
basic white bread cycle will work.
Made even with all white flour, this will be a darker blend of bread.
It's effect when made with whole wheat flour is a dark and rustic
whole grain goodness.

Title: Xxcarol's mustard bread
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 12 Servings
1 1/4 c Water
3 tb Honey
3 tb Prepared mustard
4 ts Olive oil
3 c White bread flour
1 c Rye flour
2 ts Gluten powder
1 ts Salt
3/4 ts Dry mustard powder
2 ts Active dry yeast
Ok, sue me! I tweaked this one pretty heavy from a book I have here.
This one makes a lovely high rising darkish loaf with a rather nice
mustardy taste. The original used all white flour and dijon mustard
matched to a coleman's dry mustard.
I didnt have that handy so used a mix of prepared hot asian mustard
matched to a little french's prepared yellow mustard (about 1/3 hot
asian, rest the cooler flavered American favorite). I didnt have
coleman's dry either so used a fairly hot asian blended dry. Optional
addition of a little wasabi powder (can use any horseradish powder)
at about 1/8 ts was used as I wanted a little 'punch'. You could
also add a little crushed mustard seed if you want.
Serving suggestions: with roast beef or a nice pastrami, this is a
killer good bread! Add a layer of good white cheese and possibly
some coleslaw or sourkraut. It really rocks with a cold beer!

Title: Xxcarol's Brie, Pepper, Onion soda bread
Categories: Breads, Xxcarol
Yield: 6 Servings
2 c Flour, white all purpose
1 ts Salt
1/3 c Butter
1 c Slivered brie (or small bits
1/2 c Fine chopped onion
1 tb Black pepper
2/3 c Milk
1 tb Baking soda
Start with all the dry ingredients and mix them well in a large bowl.
Now add the butter (softened but not melted) and chop that into the
mix as well as you reasonably can. Add the remaining ingredients and
mix to a dough. Using a preheated oven (always preheat when making
bread or fish!) bake at 450 degrees for about 25 minutes.
You can actually use any cheese I can think of for this (if using
cottage cheese, add a bit more flour if it seems to 'wet') and you
may want to vary the spice used to match the cheese type. The onions
are optional.

Title: Xxcarol's Cheesy Potato Bread
Categories: Breadmaker, Xxcarol
Yield: 16 Servings
1 c Water
2/3 c Cooked potatoes (mashed)
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Shredded cheese (Cheddar)
1 tb Butter
4 c Flour
4 ts Sugar
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Onion powder
1/2 ts Caraway seed (up to 1 ts)
2 ts Breadmachine yeast
This is for a 2 lb loaf. The original calls for peeling and boiling
potatoes in small pieces for 15 mins then mashing to 3/4 cup and
using the cooled potato water for the other cup but that takes too
long. I used leftover mashed (real) potatoes and water. The Caraway
seeds were also optional and supposed to be crushed but I added them
whole.
I put the mashed potatoes, water and milk together and stirred with a
fork to a fairly smooth blend then added the rest in the order
listed. Turned the machine on in dough mode and went away until it
beeped.
The dough was a little stickier than most and we put some in a loaf
pan (I want some to slice and toast) and the rest into about 9 buns.

Title: Xxcarol's Celery Seed Bread
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 14 Servings
1 1/4 c Milk
1/4 c Water
1 tb Butter
3 c White breadmachine flour
1 c Rye flour
4 ts Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 ts Celery seeds
1 ts Onion power (up to 2 ts)
1 1/2 ts Bread machine yeast
A simple bread, this one works very well in dough mode then turned
into sandwich rolls for the week, matching well to ham or salami with
cheese and melted in the microwave a bit at work.
Add all ingredients in the order listed for your machine. Can use
shortening or cooking oil for the butter. Lends well to additional
spices such as 1/4 cup dried parsley. For a nice look, brush lightly
with oil then top with poppy seeds!
