I'm not a breadmaker (finger problems make kneading painful), but I do have
a bread maker.

The best thing I can recommend starting with your new breadmaker is locate
the manual and read it. Most breadmaker manuals answer many (most) of the
questions you ask here, and provide recipes as well.  It's the first place
to start, and will cover the basics you need to start with.  Almost all
breadmakers have their manuals online, so if you know the model you're
getting, you can look at it starting today!
