The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook

Coconut Milk White Bread : page 60

I have prepared this recipe twice in the last two weeks. It has failed twice. I attributed the first failure to operator error, possibly a too-cold kitchen, or a bad recipe-machine match. Seduced by the short ingredient list, I tried again. Fool me once...I forget how the rest of that goes.
Specifics: it doesn't mix evenly and doesn't rise. It does, however, scent the house nicely. There are worse things, I suppose.

Sour Cream Bread : page 53

This recipe produced a decent, tall loaf; and I will make it again. The sour cream gives it a sourdough-type tang without the sourdough fuss. Its texture, while tighter than the usual bread machine white loaf, wasn't "reminiscent of a brioche or cake" as the author claimed.

Specifics: I opted for a light sour cream and SAF yeast, and followed the recipe.
