Q23:
Sometimes when I cut my bread, it’s too sticky and it falls apart or it starts to mash down and won’t slice cleanly. What can I do?
If your bread is sticky or mashes down, it may be too hot! Be sure to allow 15 to 30 minutes for your bread to cool before slicing.

Remember not to allow the yeast to sit in the liquid. The bread type setting is dependent upon the type of bread mix being used. i.e. White bread uses the Basic Bread setting; Sweet Bread setting is for use with dried fruit , cheese or nuts; Whole wheat or
