Bread machine book but bake in oven...
I have searched online for what would be the best cookbook for using the dough cycle and then using my own oven but I don't want to have to keep ordering books and be disappointed. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thank you very very much.

Have a look at the PDF documents.
Take a look at the bread cycles and recipes then try and match up for your breadmaker.
My favorite bread machine cookbook is Bread Machine Magic by Linda Rehberg and Lois Conway. I find their recipes translate well to kneading in the machine and then taking out to bake in the oven. I stopped baking in the bread machine years ago and just use it to mix and knead doughs.
Really, you could take any bread recipe that you need to knead and do it in the bread machine. I do. I use it to mix and knead my sourdough bread rather than use my Kitchen Aid mixer.
thank you for that info. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that any recipe can go in there. Lol. I guess it's time to get it start experimenting.
Ps do you shape your breads traditionally after they come out? Or would you bake your sourdough in a bread pan?
This one I used my bread machine to do the final mix as described in my blog here. I do find that it is a good idea when working with sourdough to check your dough every few minutes as it can over knead if you are not careful. However, for regular yeasted loaves the full dough cycle works well.
I don't have any links handy to pass along but I remember seeing a number of sites that focus on bread machine recipes including those that just use the dough function. Try googling "bread machine dough function recipes" and variations.
Thank you everyone! KathyF I can not wait to produce breads like that!! Simply beautiful, edible art.
KathyF your blog looks like it was written in an alien dialect. Lol. I have a LONG way to go.
I have been baking with sourdough only since April. For years I baked with my bread maker. First doing it all in the machine and then just using it for kneading and the first rise. Then around the beginning of the year I read about Jim Lahey's no knead method. Then I ran across a variation that seemed a little easier to handle. That was Cooks Illustrated almost no knead method. In the meantime I started thinking about sourdough bread. Especially since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area! So I started a sourdough starter and tried Eric Rusch's sourdough version of the no-knead bread.
While I was working on all that, I was surfing the web looking for more information on technique and variations. That is when I came across this site, The Fresh Loaf. What a wealth of information! And there is a very active community of people who bake with sourdough. After I got the hang of the no-knead method, I started branching out with other, more complicated recipes.
My suggestion is just to start reading. The more you read the threads on this forum, the more information you will pick up. Run across something you don't understand? Then try searching with the search bar at the top of the page. And you can ask questions on the forum too!
Have fun!
Sorry I misunderstood. I've been helping a friend who has a breadmaker to make sourdough and we've come up with the perfect failsafe formula. It's late here and I'll explain more tomorrow. But here's the gist of it...
1. Make the starter pre-ferment by hand in the breadmaker the night before
2. The flour within the pre-ferment should be 30% of flour in the recipe
3. Come morning it should be all nice and bubbly
4. Add the rest of the ingredients and choose French bread cycle
i let my bread machine do all the kneading
Then I take the bread out shape it let rise for
About 45-60 mins then put in cold oven
Put oven on 400 degree for 40 mins if any questions i will be glad to answer good
Luck happy baking

Again everyone thank you for the help and encouragemen. I can't wait to start.
KathyF, I may follow your footsteps! :)
