First Bread 

The present from my parents was a "Breadman Ultimate" [TR2200C]. I opened it Thursday evening [6/8] because I was leaving for a competition in Canada on Friday. I also made the first loaf (1 lb) with it using the "100% Whole Wheat Bread" recipe from the Instruction Manual & Recipe Guide.
It's a nice machine with lots of features including three different loaf sizes, 1, 1.5 & 2 lbs. It cleans up easily.
My only problem so far is that the loaf shape is a bit awkward. The Breadman machine that my friend Josh has makes a tall skinny loaf that has the aspect ratio of a normal store loaf stood on end, and thus slices fit nicely in the toaster. The larger (2 lbs) loaf from my machine ends up being the same width as a normal loaf but taller.
This past week I've been working out a recipe similar to the one I used back when I lived with Josh. I'm going for sweet and dense with a flaky crust that isn't too bad nutritionally.
