Tiplet: With any bread machine recipe, I usually hold back an ounce/tablespoon or two of the primary liquid. Adding it back if needed beginning about ten (10) minutes after first starting the machine is much easier (for me) than trying to get it right by adding flour.
It never made sense to me to go to the trouble of getting liquid to a suitable temp to dump it into a cold bread pan, so my first step is to remove pan from machine, put in some HOT tap water and let it warm the pan while I gather ingredients. Maybe just my imagination, but it seems to help with better first rise.
I recently noticed newer machines seem to have a “pre-heat” function, so maybe I was not all that far off before. (edited to add Dec 2023 – My KBS Model MBF-041 does have preheat)
