I Need The Easiest Brown & White Bread Recipe Pls (BM)

Options
Im just getting ready for when my bread maker arrives........Ive had little success making nice white bread in my BM but im going to try a couple more times before i decide that making my own bread just isnt for me.

So can anyone recommend the best fail safe brown and white bread recipes?

Many thanks

    I do a good mixed loaf:

    2 CUPS WM FLOUR
    1 CUP STRONG WHITE FLOUR
    1 AND 1/8 CUP WATER
    1 TSP SALT
    1 TSP YEAST ( I use doves farm as i can keep it in freezer, and cheaper)
    2 tbs oil

    I don't bother with sugar, don't need it, but often add sunflower and pumpkin seeds in for an interesting loaf!

    • 225ml (8 fl oz) warm water (45 C)
    • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
    • 1 teaspoon (1/4 oz) quick yeast
    • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 400g (14 oz) bread flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast. Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start. I have a panasonic the restsbefore starting to mix so i just fling it all in and press start. Makes a nice soft crusted white loaf
