Troubleshooting Baking Problems

What do I do if the sides of the bread collapse and the bottom of the bread is damp?

There are several possible solutions. The bread may have been left in the bread pan too long after baking. Remove the bread from the pan sooner and allow it to cool. Try using more flour (a teaspoon at a time), or less yeast (1/4 teaspoon at a time), or less water or liquid (a teaspoon at a time). This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe.

What do I do if the bread has a heavy, thick texture?

Try using less flour (a teaspoon at a time), or more yeast (1/4 teaspoon at a time). This could also be the result of using old flour or the wrong type of flour for the recipe.

What do I do if the bread is not baked completely in the center?

Try using more flour (a teaspoon more at a time), or less water or liquid (a teaspoon less at a time). Do not lift the lid too often during baking.

What do I do if the bread has a coarse or holey texture?

This is usually the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe.

What do I do if the bread rose too much?

Try using less yeast (1/4 teaspoon less at a time). This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe or forgetting to put the kneading blade into the baking pan.

What do I do if the bread did not rise enough?

There are several possible solutions. Try using less flour (a teaspoon less at a time), more yeast (1/4 teaspoon more at a time), or less water (a teaspoon less at a time). This could also be the result of:

•forgetting to add salt to the recipe,

•using old flour or the wrong kind of flour for the recipe,

•using old yeast,

•or not using hot water (except for the EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker cycles).

What do I do if the bread has a ￿oured top?

This is usually a result of using too much flour or not enough water. Try using less flour (a teaspoon or less at a time), or try using more yeast (1/4 teaspoon less at a time).

What do I do if the bread is too brown?

This is usually the result of adding too much sugar to the recipe. Try using less sugar (1 tablespoon at a time). You can also try selecting a lighter crust color selection.

What do I do if the bread is not brown enough?

This is usually the result of repeatedly lifting the lid of the bread machine or leaving the lid open while the bread is baking. Be sure the lid is shut while the breadmaker is in operation.
