Greetings from Idaho

I live in a small town in Idaho where it's difficult to get good bread at the supermarket. I picked up a Zojirushi Virtuoso recently at a thrift store and plan on using it to make sandwich bread and mix/knead dough for artisan loaves. I like wheat bread that is soft but has a lot of texture bits like cracked wheat and seeds. I've made cakes and cookies from scratch but never really tried yeast bread before now. This is my second loaf, which I made using a recipe from a bread machine recipe book. I stuck pretty close to the recipe except that instead of cracked wheat I accidentally used 10 grain cereal. Still turned out great.

Looking forward to learning more about baking bread and getting more use out of my machine.
