I just ordered a Kitchenaid Professional mixer and am anxious to try it out. I'd like to start out with some tasty breads. Anyone have any decent beginner bread recipes I could try?

Bah, do it by hand. :)

3/4 cup flat beer
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
3 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 teaspoons yeast
1/3-1/2 cup crumbled, cooked bacon

1. Place all ingredients in the bread machine bowl except the bacon and yeast.
2. Place the yeast in the yeast hopper.
3. Add the bacon with 10 minutes remaining in the last knead cycle.

That's a beginner recipe?

Give him the rice cooker bread receipe!

he said mixer, not bread machine

wont the beer kill the yeast?

Ja-pan #2: Rice cooker bread

• 350g Bread Flour
• 21g Unsalted Butter
• 21g Sugar
• 35cc Milk
• 180cc Water
• 5g Dry Yeast
• 6.5g Salt

Combine flour, sugar, salt, yeast(dissolved in water), water, milk. Knead together. When you have a uniform mass, add butter and knead some more. When it's no longer sicky, shape into ball. Let it rise for an hour in a warm place. Release gas by dropping it from a height of 50 cm. Leave it to rise for another hour. Set rice cooker to "cook" and bake for an hour. Flip it, then bake for another hour. Flip again, bake for one more hour then remove and it should be done.

If it's basic stuff, like cc to tsp, Google can handle it. Just search for "35cc in tsp" or something. For the record, that's just over 7 teaspoons. :eng101:
