Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new at this, and don't have many recipes to share as yet. I'm still working through the basics- I'm one of those ppl who like to master the foundations before getting fancy.

So currently I'm working on mastering pizza crust... like this guy :Jeff Varasano's NY Pizza Recipe . Although I'm not brave enough to cut the safety interlock off my oven's cleaning cycle lol.

Raisin Bread

Ihave tried several of the bread recipes in the Fr. Dominic book series with poor results.

My most recent attempt produced a very dry, dense, tough bread which tasted OK but was very disappointing. I ate theree slices the rest went in the waste can.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't believe that anyone could win a state Fair Prize with this loaf as claimed in the book.

Can anyone share some comments as to why I seem to get such poor results?

How to use the bread hook on the DLX2000?

Baking Equipment

I got this machine secondhand off ebay about 3 years ago and mine didn't come with a dough hook. Even though it says you don't need it, I was able to get one cheap on ebay a couple months back. I just tried to use it on a double batch whole wheat oatmeal bread and so much of it got stuck to the bottom (and stayed there) and I had to keep "helping" it. I finally ditched the hook and put on the usual spatula and roller.
