I got my first breadmachine for Christmas this year and have tried a few recipes, but I haven't found the right one yet. I'm not looking for a recipe so much as to understand what the different ingredients do. For example, I made a wheat bread recipe but it seems very dense and dry. In looking for a different recipe it would be helpful to know that X ingredient makes bread more moist so I should look for a recipe that calls for more of X than the one I tried. Any suggestions on books or websites that give info like that? I guess I'm really looking to understand some bread baking basics. thanks!
