I got an old ass bread machine from my parents that they scooped up for $2 at a good will. Took me a while to figure out what model it was, what size it was, etc, only to find out it had no normal size.

I made box of pre-mixed material for Italian bread and it was good, but it was super fucking dense, and only used about half the machine's cooking area so it came out as a dense ass cube of bread.

Figured it was time to experiment and tried different flour types, ingredients, ingredient order of addition, etc.

Finally made a loaf of bread that filled up the machine, didn't overflow it, came out dense AND soft, and has more protein for a more filling bread.

Figured I would share here. This is a for a 1.5 lb bread machine. Add off this to the machine in THIS EXACT ORDER.

2 tsp of active dry yeast
3 Tbs of sugar
1 tsp of salt
1 cup of PB fit (peanut butter powder)
3 cups of BREAD flour
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups of warm water

Turn the machine on white bread function and let it run.

The PB powder was just added with me tossing in random shit to see what stuck. The extra sugar let the yeast work a little more and made the bread a little more dense but still soft. It also added quite a bit of protein to the bread and made it more filling to consume while not drastically changing the flavor. It is a slight change of flavor, but not much and the change is a slight after taste of peanut butter which isn't a bad thing at all for the most part.

Just throwing it out there. Use it, don't use it, the choice is yours.

What kind of experiments have you done with cooking that produced results you enjoyed.

(As an aside, that bread is fucking amazing for French Toast)
