And don't trust dried yeast by adding it directly to the mix. I have had several packs and tubs, still well within use-by date, that failed to come alive. As a result, I start the yeast off in tepid water with a little sugar to confirm it will activate.

The whole point of a bread machine is that people who don’t have time to do all that can still have fresh bread in the morning.
And in all the 15 years I ran my Panasonic I never once had a fail, despite using only dried, fast-action yeast in the recipe.
