I also do not have a manual. But I have been using this recipe... 3 cups of flour, 3 tsp of Edmonds yeast, and 1 and a quarter cups of lukewarm water. 750gs and medium crust. seems to work fine for me. Just add nuts, fruit when the beep goes off the first time. Hope this helps. Oh Put the water in first, then the flour, (could add 3 tsp of sugar here too if you want to) Make a well in the top of the flour with your finger then put the yeast in the well. Push the button and hey presto. Works for me. Hei kona ra
