    If you want to get something today, I would suggest getting one of those bread machine 'blends' that have the instructions on the packet - they will tell you what you need on the outside, might even be just water.

    After that, decide on what recipes (hopefully there will be some included with the machine) you like, and then get those ingredients.

    That sounds ridiculous, to have no recipes with it??? If you have not done so, you should complain to the manufacturer - if you can be bothered ;) but that sounds plain crazy to me.
