RE: My favourite bread machine recipe
I need to get our bread machine and give it another go.
What is the 'bread improver' you mention? Not seen that here in the UK.

"Bread improver is a blend of ingredients that activate the gluten and help produce gas which assists and improves the processes of dough kneading and fermentation" (https://www.laucke.com.au/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=53185)
You need to check the ingredients as different brand uses different stuffs that are not all healthy/safe. I'm considering testing without it to see how it goes. I'm still using this because it seemed to have made a difference in the past but now that I have found a good way to activate the yeast I might not need it anymore.
Found this interesting article...
It suggests using a little orange juice to help the gluten form. I might try that.
Yes, most improvers use Vitamine C and other type of flours including corn and soy flours

Let me know how it goes if you try without the flour improver.
