This is the first loaf of bread that my new bread maker has truly successfully made. It must be fool proof! I did not use the hot sauce and I used self rising yellow corn meal. All my ingredients were at room temp (except the water, which I heated in the microwave with the automatic "beverage" button. I added the dry ingredients first (contrary to my machine's instructions), then the yeast in the corner, and then the water/oil to the other corner. It's best if you do not directly scoop out your flour with the measuring cups...in other words, it shouldn't be packed tightly in the measuring cups, so use a spoon to scoop into the cups first. The crust is crispy and the bread is soft and light with a hint of cornmeal. Use the lightest setting on your machine.
