I have the West Bend "Just for Dinner" breadmaker and would love to find a recipe to make the small loaf with kamut flour. I frequently purchase kamut & pumpkin seed bread from a true grains bakery but they are an hour away and it is not always convenient to make the trip.

Unless you are making whole wheat bread be sure to use flour that says "bread flour" on the bag. NOT all purpose floure etc. only bread flour. My favorite is King Arthur brand of flour....

I have made the following recipe in my West Bend machine with great results. I just got a Sunbeam 5895 at a garage sale - it works great - just wanted a different "shape" loaf! I'm going to use this recipe in my Sunbeam - don't see why it won't work!
Here's the recipe!
1/2 cup softened butter, cut into small pieces for good blending
1 cup mashed ripe banana (personal note: if my ripe bananas don't measure up to 1 cup, I add enough milk to make it 1 cup. Seems to be okay)
2 eggs, large, slightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grease inside of pan and knead bar generously with vegetable shortening (I just spray with Pan Spray). All all ingredients in order listed above to pan. Lock pan into bread machine. Program for quick bread. After a few minutes of mixing, I usually take a rubber spatula and scrape down the sides and stir in any flour that has not been completely mixed. I didn't do this once and ended up with a loaf that had flour coated corners!
Good Luck! Enjoy!
Just follow the above recipe but if your using the Oster 5838 expressbake put the setting at expressbake 80min. It works flawlessly, also with the oster 5838 expressbake you don't need to use the rubber spatula to mix after a minute because it blends everything together nicely.
Thanks bobert.

If you "go to" www.westbend.com, that'll redirect you to www.focuselectronics.com; once there, select "WestBend", and then "hover" the cursor on "replacement parts", click on "breadmakers", which will then allow you to select your model, and then THAT page will offer various parts, including the "hardcopies" of the User Manual and the Recipe book (for $), BUT... if you scroll down a bit further, you will also find them as downloadable .PDF files (for FREE).
Here is the link for the West bend breadmaker site - they dont have manuals there but most of your questions are probably answered in the FAQs, and you can contact them direct for a manual;

If you want to get into breadmaking, there are a vast number of forums and sites - just type breadmaker recipes into google or similar.
This review of your machine is not quite a user manual, but goes into lots of details about the programming etc.
Hope this helps - most bread machines are pretty similar, and if you read a few of the discussion forums you will soon get an idea of how to do it - if in doubt ask someone who uses one to show you what to do or what you are doing wrong - always weigh the ingredients EXACTLY and put them in the machine in order - liquid, flour, yeast (a few recipes will differ, but thats the basics).
