Recipe: No Knead Bread Recipes - Making Bread Without a Bread Machine

Dear Lois,

According to the Breadman Bread Machine manual, the EO2 error in a Breadman means the oven area is too cold so your heating element may not be working. Here is a source for manuals for several models of Breadman bread machines so you can try setting it up using the instructions:

If for some reason you aren't able to access that site, please feel free to e-mail me your request along with the bread machine model number and I'll be happy to e-mail a copy of the manual to you: betsy@recipelink.com

If it turns out your machine isn't working and as you said, you can't afford a new one, there are many easy and no knead ways to have great bread without a bread machine - here are few recipes for you to check out:
