Boiling water without burning it

self-rising has baking powder in it. Most bread machine recipes call for yeast rather than baking powder, so you may be out of luck. :( You could use it for quickbreads ( mmm, pancakes ), or just return it to get what you meant. I find when using the breadmachine that it's worth it to get the flour meant specifically for bread machines, since it produces a less crumbly loaf.
