There just aren't enough people on other forums, and I don't need an "expert" who will speak in technical terms. I need laymen who speak in laymen terms, cause I'm laying down when I read the responses.
Any way, just got my bread maker home and began the first recipe. I used Sonoma Williams recipe for basic wheat bread. It called for no eggs, no baking powder, no baking soda, no olive oil, so I didn't use any of those.
I don't get common all purpose flour, so I substituted for it with mostly white rice flour, a teaspoon of tapioca flour, a teaspoon of sunflower lechitin, and a teaspoon of dry milk powder. I had read that those last two help to make fluffier bread, and I want fluffy bread. I also used fast rising yeast for the same reason. I had used a friend's bread maker before, and the bread always came out "dense", instead of fluffy. That's good for some things, but I prefer bread to be soft.
So, anyone have any tips? I'd like to make cinnamon bread, too. And other breads.

My first guess was about using rice flour, and I appealed to the Google Gods. Rice flour is gluten free, and cannot be substituted 1:1, as a major ingredient. All wheat flours have gluten, although I think the gluten level varies among types ... all-purpose, bread, cake. Rice flour can be substituted in smaller amounts, such as a thickener for gravy our sauces. There are recipes for gluten-free bread, online, but I didn't read them. If gluten is your major objection to wheat flour, you can find the proper ingredient list for your needs. Add PS: Your post isn't, at all, "off topic." It's a good question, and the kind of thing we see all the time.
