Hi :) I was wondering if i can use olive oil instead of butter in the bread machine recipies. Its cheaper and better for me. Any suggestions?

Hi Heleneburk, yes you sure and substitute olive oil for butter while making bread. Not only is it cheaper and healthier, but taste good too. If you want a sweeter bread, use a vegetable oil which does not have a prominent flavor and aroma like olive oil. You could also use a non-hydrogenated vegetable margarine instead of butter. Let me warn you that your bread will not have that gorgeous buttery aroma if you use oil. And the bread may turn out to be slightly denser than that made using butter.

what kind of flour are you using? can you use reg flour instead of the bread flour?

Samina Tapia says :

yes you can use regular flour. It is however better to get a high gluten flour to make bread. This helps to ferment the dough better.

I have a question. I want to make bread (the dough) in my 2 lb breadmaker, but want to transfer the mix from the breadmaker into breadpans to bake in the oven and am not sure the best way to do this and at what temp/how long/how many pans?
