Re: Breadmachine recipe?
This got me to reminicising about bread and the best commercial bread I have ever had in the US is Monk's Bread. It is actually baked by the monks of Our Lady of the Genesee Abbey in upper NY state and was sold in some stores in the Northeast. My grandmother used to buy it and when I would go visit her she would serve that for breakfast. I just did a search and they still make it and sell it online! The loaves are small and narrow and the bread sliced very thin-but the taste, wonderful!

To make a 1lb loaf I use:
¾ cup + 1 tbsp water, (boiled, straight from the kettle)
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
2¼ cups white bread flour
1½ tsp active dry yeast
This is enough for just me 'n' Hubs for a couple of days. As there are no preservatives, the loaf won't last any more than a few days but that's ok.

"Bob's Red Mill" is a good brand for specialist flours and cooking ingredients. This brand may have the kind of flour you're searching for.
Here's a list of the flours sold by this brand-

Re: Breadmachine recipe?
Here's a simple one I use.
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons Veggie Oil
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
4 Cups Bread Flour (or All Purpose Flour)
2 Teaspoons of Active Dry Yeast.
I wake up the yeast first by putting 1/4 cup or warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl and add the yeast to it. Let it stand for 5 - 10 minutes. Should start bubbling.
Add all the wet ingrediants first and take 1/4 cup of water off of the water if you used it first to wake up the yeast.
I always put the yeast in last on top of the flour and it hasn't let me down yet.
The set your machine to White, Medium Crust and 2lb loaf (if you have that setting).
Tastes damn good fresh out of the machine
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons Veggie Oil
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
4 Cups Bread Flour (or All Purpose Flour)
2 Teaspoons of Active Dry Yeast.

Re: Breadmachine recipe?
I got Delia Smiths set of How to Cook books a couple of years ago and How to Cook book 3 has loads of excellent bread machine recipes in it as well as loads of scrummy food that is good to eat but not so good for the waistline 
My husband made his favorite - steak and ale pie over the weekend - delicious! If you have a weighing scale and a set of cups the measurements thing can be easily resolved.

Au Bon Pain in New York City sells a bread (multi-grain). I looked at the ingredients yesterday because of all the fuss of this thread. The bread is made with granary flour. Now the bread is made in the US so how do they get the flour?

There are some really great breads in the US! I love all the Arnolds bread - they make loads of different types. Guess it depends where you love whether you can get it or not

Re: Breadmachine recipe?
This is probably a silly question but can you just wack the ingrediants into the bread maker, head off to work and come back to fresh bread?

Re: Breadmachine recipe?
I started using a bread machine about a month ago after three years of eating 'sweet' bread. You can delay the start of the machine by 13 hours. It takes about 2 minutes to put the ingredients in the machine and 3 hours later you have a loaf. The smell of fresh bread cooking is fantastic and my son says our house smells like Sainsbury's bakery.
After reading about how much corn syrup is in most US foods I decided to try and cut it out of our diet. It is more or less impossible to find corn syrup free bread that my kids will eat. They both love home made bread and it definitely tastes like the real thing.
I make my own white bread from scratch but use organic packet bread mixes for different kinds of 'brown' bread.
