I have a B200 all in one horizontal bread maker. all the buttons work except for menu and crust. So it is stuck on regular crust and basic setting. can that be fixed? Thanks and Happy Easter.

What make is it? Is it 1 pound or 2 pounds loaf?
Here is a basic recipe, for white bread.
1& 1/3 cups lukewarm water.
2 Tbls powdered milk.
1 &1/2 salt.
1 Tbls sugar.
2 Tble butter or marg.
3 & 3/4
1 tsp. yeast.
put ingredients in pan in order of written.
Select the BASIC setting and REGULAR or DARK crust.
push button to star, depending on the breadmaker you have, you may have 15 minutes plus time delay.
the unit will beep when done.
remove bread let cool a few minutes and sometimes you have to remove the paddle inside the bread.
Hope this helps. :)

Just let it go and find out. It should be in your manual

push the stop button until your machine beeps, then unplug it and plug it back in. push select and push it again and again and you will get more confident as you see it go through the choices such as basic, whole wheat, french etc...... you will get more confident about how to choose. Once you feel you have the right program leave it there and then choose things such as the crust color you want and the LOAF SIZE once you feel you have the right settings say....whole wheat, light crust, 1.5 pound loaf.......then....push start and the fun will begin....

i would read the manual

Replace the recipes that call for water with milk. Your bread will be softer and much lighter crust and will be healthier too. Be sure of course to choose light crust.

Traditional White Bread (2 lb. loaf)
1 and 3/8 cups water
2 tblsp butter or marg.
1 and 3/4 tsp salt
4 cups bread flour
2 tblsp dry milk
2 tblsp sugar
2 and 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan
Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to bread pan.
Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Measure the yeast and carefully pour into the well.
Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.
Press "Select" button to choose the Basic setting.
Press the "Crust Color" button to choose light, medium or dark crust.
Press the "Start/Stop" button.

I have the same model - here is one of the recipes in the booklet. I can send more if needed - just let me know. Also, the recipes on the back of bread flour bags work well with this model.

Traditional White Bread
1.5 pound loaf

1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dry yeast

Measure and add liquid ingredients to bread pan.

Measure and add dry ingredients (EXCEPT YEAST) to bread pan.

Use finger to form a well in the flour to pour the yeast. Measure yeast and carefully pour it into the well - keep yeast away from liquid!

Snap pan into breadmaker and close lid.

Press "Select" button to choose Basic setting.

Press "Crust Color" button to choose crust.

Press "Start/Stop" button.

Try using the white setting and it should be OK. Using part white and part wheat also works well, I have found.

There's a little arrow in the LCD screen that changes from 1, 1.5, and 2 lbs when you press loaf. There is also one for light, medium, and dark crust. Each time you press either button, the arrow will change which setting it's pointing to.

If you're using it in an area with low lighting, try using a flashlight (I have to do that on mine).
