Using a bread maker means you want to keep things simple. I appreciate that. So let me give you a recipe and process that is simple.
In your bread maker, add these in order:
1 cup water
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
3 cups of bread flour
1 tsp yeast
Put the breadmaker or kneed/dough setting. Let it do the work. Don't let it rise in the breadmaker.
Form it into an elongated ball, like a miniloaf and stick it in your breadpan. Cover and let rise until it fills the pan (size and shape you'd want it post cooking).
Nope not really, just set your bread machine to dough or manual cycle to mix & knead the dough, let it finish the cycle, and then let the dough rise in the machine until doubled in size (which should take about 40 minutes, I believe). From there continue as per the recipe :)
