Troubleshooting (cont.) Bread has a crater in top of loaf once baked. • Dough has risen too fast. • Too much yeast or water. Measure all ingredients accurately. Decrease yeast or water slightly. • Incorrect cycle chosen for the recipe. Crust color is too light. • Opening the Lid during baking. Do not open Lid during baking. • Select a darker crust option (Cycles 1, 2, 3, or 9 only). Crust color is too dark. • Too much sugar in the recipe. Decrease sugar amount slightly. • Select a lighter crust option (Cycles 1, 2, 3, or 9 only). Kneading Paddle comes out with the bread. • Thicker crust with dark crust setting. Choose a lighter crust (Cycles 1, 2, 3, or 9 only). • It is not uncommon for the Kneading Paddle to come out with the bread loaf. Once the loaf cools, remove the paddle with Paddle Hook. Bread loaf is lopsided. • Too much yeast or water. Measure all ingredients accurately. Decrease yeast or water slightly. • Kneading Paddle pushes dough to one side before rising and baking. Some loaves may not be evenly shaped, particularly with whole-grain flour. 16 Loaves made are different shapes. • Varies by the type of bread. Whole-grain or multigrain is denser and may be shorter than a basic white bread. Bottom of loaf is soggy. • Bread has remained in Bread Pan on Warm setting too long and absorbed moisture. End Warm setting by pressing and holding START/PAUSE. Remove bread from Bread Pan using oven mitts. Bread is hollow or holey inside. • Dough too wet, too much yeast, no salt. Measure all ingredients accurately. Decrease yeast or water slightly. Check salt measurement. • Water too hot. Underbaked or sticky, doughy bread. • Too much liquid; incorrect cycle chosen. Decrease liquid and measure ingredients carefully. Check cycle chosen for recipe. Bread mashes down when slicing. • Bread is too hot. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 15-30 minutes before slicing. Bread has a heavy, thick texture. • Too much flour, old flour. Try increasing water or decreasing flour. • Not enough water. Whole-grain breads will have a heavier texture. Base of Bread Pan has darkened or is spotted. • May occur after washing in dishwasher. This is normal and will not affect the Bread Pan.
