being frugal as I am and with reported wheat and flour shortage being forecast I found a store with 5 lb sacks of gold medal all purpose flour for $1.99. off to google to find a bread machine recipe for all purpose flour
1 cup milk
4 tbsp butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 lg beaten egg
1 tsp salt
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp yeast??  I used 1 packet of instant yeast it worked great with whole wheat bread last month.

started the machine
about 2 hours the machine still on the "rise" setting. in I looked in the window a wet gooey mess in the bottom of the pan.
it never looked like that before
I opened the lid, put in about 1/2 cup bread flour and a heaping teaspoon of bread machine yeast.

my hopes are not too high for this
but will let it keep going and see if it had been salvaged.
Does anyone have a proven good bread machine recipe for all purpose flour?

I don't use a bread machine, but to me the recipe seems to have a lot of liquid.
Any bread recipe I use that has 3 cups of flour has at most 1 cup of liquid. On top of that you have an egg and a good lot of butter, and that much brown sugar usually adds to the liquid more than that quantity of a flour might, for example.

(i agree with your 1 t and 1 envelope seeming about right for instant dry yeast)

and I would absolutely salvage it by adding more flour.

Hopefully someone who uses a machine can hop in with a proven recipe.
 
The glass is neither half full or half empty. It is too big. But this tiny ad is just right:
