Basic Bread Recipe?

Options
Hi I just bought a cookworks BM and my first loaf tasted sweet, the recipe with the machine says to use 2 tablespoons sugar can I leave out the sugar?

Does anyone have a foolproof basic 2lb white loaf recipe?

    I don't use a breadmaker, but I only use 1 teaspoon of sugar per 500g flour. 2 tablespoons seems an awful lot.

    My receipe is for only 1 tbs of sugar. 2 sounds a lot to me.
    My receipe is
    460g flour (but I actually use 464 as it gives a nice texture)
    1tbs of sugar
    1 tsp salt
    1 tbs oil or butter
    1 packet of yeast

    Thanks so much for the recipe it looks so much more straight forward than the one that came with the BM :).
