Do you need milk powder for a breadmaker?

[chloemegjess]

Hello. I got a breadmaker the other day from freecycle and went and bought some bread flour, yeast etc. But then I got home and realised all the recipes in the book say use "dried milk powder". Can I not justuse normal milk? I really wanted to make bread today!

Any suggestions?

sazzles - I have done 1/2 and 1/2 flour wise. But wondered if 3/4 white and 1/4 wholmeal, if you put it on basic or wholemeal setting, I'm not sure what the difference is in the setting.

thanks sazzles - will give it a go.
