you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

this bread recipe seems to meet with our collective approval, though I need to remember less rosemary next time. Also, the bread machine's bake cycles may not work (we don't know, that's a later experiment; circumstantial evidence argues that the machine is junk, but the facts aren't all in), but the dough cycle obviously does, and getting the bread from heaps of ingredients to ready for the oven is the hard part of baking anyway.

But you know what else we can do with a bread machine dough cycle, that frankly isn't worth the effort (imo) without?

(the 1994 original of the bread machine pizza dough cookbook I'm used to is $100+ used on Amazon. I didn't check condition. the 2005 update, in Used - Very Good condition, no less? $5. and the current edition of the bread machine bread cookbook that's first in that series? (I have to specify because there are at least six by that title, distinguished by Roman numerals.) new for $9. they are both mine now or anyway on arrival. MWAHAHA.)
