TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are having difficulty producing a satisfactory loaf, check the following points before calling for service.
1. MY BREAD DIDN'T RISE!
• Whole wheat or rye loaves will not rise as much as white loaves
• Use Fresh Yeast - quick-rising is best
• Add Yeast LAST and away from salt, sugar, and water
• Adding gluten assists rising
• Increase water by
1 oz.
• Check to ensure kneading blade is properly in place
• Key ingredients miss measured or omitted
• Too much salt
• Ingredients not room temperature
2. MY BREAD LOOKS LIKE A CRATER!
• Too much moisture in mixture - reduce liquid slightly
• Increase salt by
1/2 tsp. or increase flour by 1 Tbsp.
• Bread left in machine too long after baking
3. MY BREAD ROSE TOO HIGH AND STUCK TO THE LID!
• Reduce yeast by
1/2 tsp.
• Reduce all ingredients slightly
• Too much water - reduce by 1 tsp.
• Not enough salt - add
1/4 tsp.
4. MY BREAD IS NOT COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH
• Too much moisture - reduce liquid slightly
• Can happen with heavier flours - an extra knead will solve this. After the first knead and rise, stop the
machine and start over from the beginning as for a new loaf of bread. This puts more air into the dough.
5. MY BREAD IS TOO HEAVY OR ROUGH TEXTURED
• Not enough water - add 1 Tbsp.
• Flour is too dry - store in airtight container
6. MY BREAD HAS TOO MANY HOLES
• Too much water - reduce by 1 Tbsp.
• Too much yeast - reduce by
1/8 tsp.
• Not enough salt - add
1/4 tsp.
