Could somebody tell me if you can use regular bread recipes in the machines or do you have to use the mixes. I bought my breadman at a church sale and it didn't have a book with it

There are many recipes for breadmaker bread around on the web...you just need to know what size of loaf your maker makes. Is it a 1 1/2 pound loaf? Then search in goggle for a recipe for it and you should find several that you can use.
