Recipe Preparation
1. Calculate the number of "loaves" in a non-ABM recipe by allowing 3
cups of flour per "loaf" (or 2 cups flour for a 1-lb machine).
Rounding off is fine; if a recipe calls for 5 cups flour, I figure
that's close enough to 2 loaves for government work. Remember to add
in ALL the flours, if there's bread flour plus WW flour plus rye
flour plus ... you get the idea. Most handmade bread recipes seem to
make 2 loaves.
2. Have MM resize it to 1 loaf.
3. Manually change the yeast and sugar amounts to whatever suits your
machine. In my R2D2, 1/2 tb yeast and 1/2 tb sugar are optimum. (If
you don't know what works best in your machine, don't try altering
recipes yet! Try a number of different ABM recipes and start looking
for a pattern. What amounts give the best results?) If the amount the
resized recipe calls for is dramatically different from what you know
works in your machine, don't worry. Stick with what works in your
machine. (This does not apply to sweet breads; since my R2D2 doesn't
produce usable sweet breads, I've not tried to convert sweet bread
recipes and have no guidelines to suggest.)
4. Add the dry ingredients and oil/butter/eggs to the machine.
Measure out the liquid and pour in HALF of the measured amount. (If
your machine calls for putting in the liquid first, and you're
terrified to use a different ingredient order, put only HALF the
measured amount of liquid in.) Start the machine and let knead a few
minutes. Add remaining liquid, a little at a time, until the dough is
the right consistency. (Again, if you haven't used your ABM enough to
recognize the right consistency when you see/feel it, don't start
adapting recipes yet.) You may need to add more liquid, or you may
have liquid left over. Make a note of how much liquid you actually
used.
5. When the bread is done, evaluate. Didn't rise enough? Add another
1/8 cup liquid next time. Overflowed? Reduce the liquid by 1/8 cup. I
don't remember the last time I had to adjust anything except the
liquid.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The argument against low carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is extremely hard (though not totally impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a low carbohydrate diet.
Scientific studies over recent years have proved that exessive consumption of animal fat can result in higher risk of cancer, heart disease and other serious conditions.
Lycopene foods
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)
The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the red colour of some types of food.
Usefully, unlike numerous other healthy agents, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking.
. Its most interesting medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the most powerful eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
