I have done a LOT of research on the web over the last few weeks looking for low carb bread recipes and there are lots out there. Unfortunately only a few specifically refer to bread machines and of those, some actually suggest making the dough in the bread machine and then baking in the oven (what's the point then of the bread machine?). I have purchased a lot of ingredients to make my own bread and am ready to go with my new bread machine. I made a few loaves from pre-packaged ingredients but they didn't rise very we;;. So ANY recipes you have that work well in the bread machine would be VERY much appreciated. Dan

Oh, and I don't bake in the machine.  I just use it to do the hard work. Priscilla

Oh, and I don't bake in the machine.  I just use it to do the hard work. I do this also.  I hate the loaf as it comes out of the machine, soft, soggy and wet

I hate the loaf as it comes out of the machine, soft, soggy and wet What make of machine do you have and how old. Mine is a new Black & Decker horizontal and I don't get any soggy/wet problems, just not rising enough. Does this mean I should add more yeast, or more sugar for the yeast to work on? Thanks Dan

Priscilla Ballou I use any bread machine recipe which is whole grain.  No problemo. Care to provide us with one of your faves that actually rises to a normal sized loaf?  LOL This is STILL my main problem. Oh, and I don't bake in the machine.  I just use it to do the hard work. I do this also.  I hate the loaf as it comes out of the machine, soft, soggy and wet A couple of recipes from the _Bread Machine Magic_ cookbook I like are the Shredded Wheat Bread recipe and some Nine Grain Bread recipe in which I substitute 10 grain mix-ins since I have those and not 9 grain mix-ins. Any bread that has trouble rising I sub wheat gluten for some of the flour (say, up to 1/4 cup or so but usually only a couple of Tablespoons).  It's gluten which creates the infrastructure which the CO2 from the yeast inflates.  The Shredded Wheat Bread has no trouble rising, but the 9/10 grain bread does need extra time.  Those extra grains are heavy!   Priscilla

Care to provide us with one of your faves that actually rises to a normal sized loaf?  LOL This is STILL my main problem. Do you mean that your loaves are not rising, even when baked in the oven? I am new to breadmaking but doesn't most (or all?) of the rising take place in the dough ball before baking? If so then if the over does a better job is it because of temperature?

More gluten and maybe more time.   Priscilla
