I've found that the recipes that come with a given bread machine work well as long as you follow them as accurately as possible. Any deviation and something goes wrong. I imagine the manufacturer did a lot of trial and error to get the right calibration.
Also, found that recipes in third-party bread machine recipe books NEVER worked. Now, I just stick to the ones in the machine's guide.
You don't vary it at all?
Only small, non-reactive things, like adding a little more herbs in some recipes. But not for any other ingredient.
Tried reducing molasses in a whole wheat recipe, and another time didn't have enough butter. Several other experiments. They all came out awful. Now I just stick to what's in the booklet.
That's really weird that it's so specific. Mine will make bread even if I only put glass shards in it. It wouldn't be good, obviously. And there's a whole lot of hyperbole there but I've never had inedible bread out of it.
