Making bread

I bought a bread machne off ebay- big mistake!  It stinks, was covered with hair and cat food-very nasty!  It came with a book but it's not even the one that goes to my machine.  It's been a learning experience!
I am just experimenting, trying to figure out how to use it since I have no idea.  I've made 1 loaf and it turned out okay but it was from a box that had everything in it, so it was easy.  I have to figure out what "bread flour" is, they don't have it here at my hometown grocery store.  Maybe I need to check Wal-Mart- they have everything.  I don't really know what to look for, does the package actually say "bread flour" or does it go by another name?  If anyone knows, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Blessings-Jessica

Here's a good article on the differences in flours: http://www.joyofbaking.com/flour.html

Bread flour is a high gluten flour so there is a slight difference in makeup and produces different results. Not sure where you are but you should be able to find some brand, even if only one, of specifically bread flour on the shelves. (I hope!) If not, perhaps there are adjustments you can make to the recipe to compensate for the use of all-purpose flour.. I'm not really sure on that as I have never used a bread machine.

Scour around the net, if you don't get specific help here in your comments, for "making bread in a bread machine" or "bread machine tips" and similar searches.

Good luck and sorry about your less than exceptional ebay experience!

I know this is off topic but I am responding to your question on my blog. I did two things that really helped with the not eating before surgery. First of all I prayed, specifically that he would be in a good mood that day, and second niether my husband or I or my seven year old ate in front of him. CW, my seven year old, went to a friends and ate breakfast when he got there. DH and I didn't eat at all, we thought it was best to be able to sympathize with him although I couldn't go without my coffee, it didn't think it would be wise to be grumpy and hungry on such a stressful day. It wasn't easy but we managed and so will you. I will pray for you, let me know how it goes. Another thing is to have something new or very interesting to them that you can pull out when things get difficult. The hospital we had was a children's hospital so they had all kinds of toys and videos to watch...and toys that are new to you are just as good as new toys.

Apr. 4, 2006 - Bread Flour and MOPS

Posted by coveredwifeoftim
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for signing my blog. First of about bread flour, you can get it at most major supermarkets like Vons, Albertsons, etc. It will be in the flour section and it will say bread flour. Gold Medal makes it and there is also the store brand. I'm sure you can find the owners manual online from the company that made the machine. What brand is it?
Regarding your question in my blog about MOPS,you can go to the MOPS website at www.mops.org.
I hope you can find one in your area.

The bread flour I use comes in a yellow bag and it says Better For Bread. I want to say its Gold Medal, but I could be wrong. Walmart should have it. Its with the flour.
