Nice! I have been slowly modifying an old recipe from one of the old old Better Homes cookbook to use in the bread machine. I have swapped olive oil for the butter, and honey for the white sugar. I'll have to post it, its works pretty darn good in the bread machine. I tried swapping whole wheat for bread flour but that just didn't work. I have found getting a bread recipe just right is all about getting the yeast to work the way you want, kind of like brewing.
