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.

damp.

installed in the machine.
