Hello....
Many of the bread recipes I'd like to try are righten with the expectation that the reader will be using a bread machine. How do I substitute bread machine yeast for active dry yeast in a recipe? Also, do I need to adjust any of the quantities in the recipie?
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

One envelope of instant/bread machine yeast is equal to one envelope of active dry.
If you are using bulk packages, 1 1/2 tsp instant/bread machine is equal to 2 1/4 tsp active dry.
Active dry has to be softened in water before using. The instant yeast does not, but I usually do anyway.
Otherwise there are no standard adjustments. Bread machines are very efficient in kneading together all the ingredients, so you might need a touch more water if mixing by hand or by stand mixer, but all doughs need slight adjustments based on the atmospheric conditions, the precise amount of ingredients used, etc. - nothing out of the ordinary.

What recipe are you trying now? You had such a spectacular success with the Moldovan bread!

I was wanting to make burger buns... But little ones, like slider buns (my kids love slider)
So I was thinking
Hot Dog/Hamburger Buns/Rolls/Cinnamon Buns Dough Cycle A.b.m. might work well.
I will be using my kitchen aid stand mixer to make the dough.

That dough should work well. I made my own rolls several times for sliders and they always went over really well. I vary the type of dough I use - sometimes multigrain, sometimes onion, whatever strikes my fancy.
