This is honestly, one of the best materials about bread machines ever. Thanks you a lot!

Ive had an OSTER breadmachine for years now& found that making a 1&1/2 lb. Loaf on a 1 lb. Setting,&putting it on a light crust,THEN stopping the machine 10 minutes earlier than the ending timer beeper MAKES A GREAT LOAF OF BREAD!!! Its like commercial sandwich bread!!!!!!

Thank you. I'll try this change.!

I’m using 500g Lidl strong white and 100g Waitrose whole meal, makes a good loaf that even the kids like and ridiculously cheap!

I tried to make my own bread 4 different times and failed, in one day. I hope I can succeed next week -Sunken top.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I follow the manufactures recipe and my one pound loafs come out fine. When I double the recipe for a two pound loaf (per the manufacture), the top blows off. I can see it pressing against the top of the bread maker near the end of the cycle. I suspect it is too much of something.

Breadmaker trouble with most breadmakers - refering to the machine - occurs after two or three years when the paddle-spindle starts to rust in its bearings. This occurs because a hot, moist environment requires very high quality steel not to rust. If you catch the sticking of the spindle early, you may use WD-40 to free it. From that point, use your machine to knead. Before the final rise or fermentation, transfer the dough to an external loaf pan. Let the dough rise for about an hour; then bake in your oven or oven/broiler for 40-45 minutes at 350F. Decades ago, better quality steel was used. My Black & Decker (made in USA) kneaded and baked with no rust problems for over 20 years.

Very Interesting! Thank you.

Is it possible to have the 100% rye bread recipe and breadmaker directions? I'd really appease it. 😊

Never use cold eggs. And use warm milk. It will make your bread sunk in. I even sell them now. Always use no 1 for basic. Light color. Choose 750 grams. Mixinh raisin, almond, choco chips, rice choco, choco powder 3 spoons. Well done with nice crispy

Paddle wont work

Why is my banana bread "doughy" on top (centre) even after leaving it in warmer for nearly 1 hour? Followed receipt exactly in Breville booklet, measured everything. It takes 1.50 minutes on level 7 setting (non yeast product). Other products like bread 600g and 900g are lovely, perfectly cooked. Thanks for helping out.

My dough comes up so beautifully on the second prooffing 1 inch over the top if the loaf pan I would be baking in n then in theiven it sink down atleast 2 inches. Please help.me understand where I'm.going wrong.

I follow the instructions of the flour. I have been using a multigrain flour and my results have been pretty positive except for a couple of occasions where the flours seems not to have cooked properly. I am using 250g of flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a couple of teaspoons of apple sauce as a substitute for oil. Water is 140ml which is chilled to about 5 degrees C and reduced by 10ml if the ambient temp is above 25 degrees C. I add an assortment of cranberries, raisins, poppy seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Yeast is a dry yeast which comes in a sachet for the flour. Normally the crust comes out a lovely brown and is chewy. The rise is not as high as expected and the inside could be airier. What am I doing wrong for the insufficient rise and the occasionally uncooked dough?

Sounds like the yeast isn’t properly or fully blooming. This could be because your water is too cold; yeasts like warm water (not overly hot). The yeasts are alive and eat the sugar in order to bloom, this is done in a warm environment (~90 deg F). I have seen water temps recommended from 70F to 110F; too cold & the yeasts stay dormant and too hot and it kills them.

I bake in the oven. Before baking; My dough didn’t double in size. Is this a yeast problem?

I don't know what I did wrong. But it came out very hard on the outside and still doughy on the inside. Followed the instructions to the T.

My bread maker book says to make sure the loaf is cooled completely before cutting it otherwise the middle will be doughy and uncooked.

Having stuck with the same two recipes; (A) whole white and (B) part wholemeal, part white with complete success for the last couple of years, my last four loaves; one of B and three of A have all been doughy and sticky in the middle. All the loaves have risen perfectly, they have a nice colour, a good crust but after the first 2 slices, they're unusable. The inside has no structure to it and as you attempt to slice it, the bread separates, leaving a sticky doughy residue on the bread knife. Since all the ingredients are fresh and there are no changes to previous loaves, I can only presume that my Panasonic 2500 is not baking properly. I'll try a dough only cycle and an oven bake and see if that makes any difference.

My crust gets tooooo thick and when I tried to bake a box cake the crust was thick and hard, a knife wouldn't cut through.

Have you worked much with almond flour or coconut flour? My loaves are very dense and I am looking to have them a bit more airy.

I use half rye and half bread flour. But I don't mind a denser loaf. Recipes I've seen state no more than 1/3 rye 2/3 bread flour. I also proof my yeast in warm sweet water every time. The yeast being awake seems to help with the heavy lifting. I use a bit extra water and sometimes I mix everything together before I put it in the bread machine, because I have a cheaper machine and I think it does not always do a thorough mixing job.. I do not use any of the other flours you mention, so I can't give you my experience with them. Good luck.

Use "bread flour" for both wheat and rye. It has the right amount of gluten, so your dough will hold the air properly. Polish wheat/rye bread is 60/40. Meanwhile German wheat/rye bread has more rye.

It certainly was too much yeast for mine...sigh😞

Jo S Check what the dough is like for the first ten minutes of the continuous kneading process (not the initial pulse mixing when you first start the cycle) the machine shouldn’t have any trouble kneading the dough if it seems like the machine is struggling to turn the dough is far too tough. For most breads, the dough should move freely around the pan and be soft, slightly tacky and smooth, it should form one even ball. Once you’ve observed that is the consistency, you can then leave the machine to it... The machine only has a computer, it doesn’t have a brain. 😊

*_Jo S_* Hi there. Well, in the video they just talk about a condition close to yours.They show a loaf that is dense at the bottom and fluffy at the top which is an indication of (a bit) too little water that causes the machine to not be able to mixed the dough well. Also they refer of the recipes in the manual (of machine) as being GENERIC and that in regard to flour is better to follow the amount of water the manufacturer (of flour) recommend to use.

Too much yeast, try to reduce yeast by abt 2gr. Most likely your kitchen is quite warm.

My bread is dense at the bottom and nearly choked me today and has never been that bad, but the directions always say never knead for longer than 10 minutes and do not allow it to be sticky and that's what I did but apparently it has to be somewhat sticky with more liquid and it has to be kneaded longer than 15 minutes. Correct? It was fine yesterday after I baked it, but today it was hard and it was stored properly in a bag. I use a KitchenAid with dough hook and in the beginning let my yeast ferment with maple syrup and then add organic flour and spring water , using the paddle at first to mix well then adding the dough hook and at the end I add a little olive oil and sea salt. I roll out the dough and knead it into three loaves of bread. I live in the cold and will open the oven on warm and let the kitchen warm up to 75° degrees or more. I use unbleached organic white flour.

i have a breadmaker it took me a while to get the hang of it.one common mistake i found was i misread tspn thinking it was tablespoon.i find the measure spoons are more accurate.i think bread flour is better than ordinary flour for bread.also sometimes they will say a cup n half of water in recipe.i think it means small cup not a mug.sometimes the recipes are not accurate.eg a cup can be different sizes.sometimes you can just tell if it needs more or less water.it took me a few trial loaves in breadmaker before i got it right.

What I’ve learned over 30 years using a machine is that 100% whole wheat comes out too dense. I substitute some regular flour and it lightens it up quite nicely. If you are using 3 cups of whole wheat, then do 2 1/2 and 1/2 cup white flour. You can make adjustments to the amount of white flour, as long as the total comes out to 3 cups. Adding more yeast didn’t fix the problem or more or lest water. Sometimes I wondered if it’s in the needing time or raise time. But most machines don’t allow us to adjust those things. The Breville allows that variation but it takes A LOT of trial and error.

Remember 100, 60, 2 and 2. No matter how much flour you have, it will always equal 100%. Now weigh the flour (I recommend grams). Divide that weight by 100. 360g / 100 = 3.6. Remember (or write down) 3.6. Next is your water (or liquid) at 60% of the flour weight (which is 360g). 3.6 x 60 = 216g. You will need 216 grams of water. Next is salt at 2%. 3.6 x 2 = 7.2g. You will need 7 grams of salt. Same thing for yeast, also at 2%. This is a starting point. Your results will vary depending on how warm your kitchen is, how humid it is, flour you use, and (as my Granma would say) how wet your water is. You can reduce the flour from 3 cups to 2 1/2 cups, and adjust everything with ease. 2 1/2 cups of flour = 300g. 300 / 100 = 3.0. 3 x 60 = 180. 3 x 2 = 6. 3 x 2 = 6. So the new recipe would be 300g of flour, 180g of water, 6 grams of salt and yeast. Note: My Granma explained the times that your dough comes out really dry or extra wet (even though you've followed the recipe to the letter) as times that the water you used was either really dry or extra wet. And you know... so far, that's the best explanation that I've heard.

After last rise cycle baking time should be about 40 mins. If it starts browning darker than you like then either the machine baking temp is off (To high) or the cook time is wrong. It won’t hurt if you switch it off and remove bread when it reaches the colour you like. Once the loaf is cut and you get to see the inside and it’s not cooked enough then it’s the machine cooking temp is wrong. We prefer to let the machine to work until the cooking begins then remove it and cook in the regular oven.
