PROBABLE CAUSE
• Too much yeast or water.
• Kneading paddle pushes dough to one side
before rising and baking.
• Varies by the type of bread.
• Bread has remained in bread pan on Keep Warm
setting too long and absorbed moisture.
• Dough too wet, too much yeast, no salt
• Water too hot.
• Too much liquid; incorrect cycle chosen.
• Bread is too hot.
• Too much flour, old flour.
• Not enough water.
• After washing in dishwasher.
SOLUTION
• Measure all ingredients accurately.
• Decrease yeast or water slightly.
• Some loaves may not be evenly shaped, particularly
with whole-grain flour.
• Whole-grain or multigrain is denser and may be
shorter than a basic white bread.
• End Keep Warm setting by pressing START/STOP
for 2–3 seconds.
• Remove bread from bread pan using oven mitts.
• Measure all ingredients accurately.
• Decrease yeast or water slightly. Check salt
measurement.
• Use room-temperature water.
• Decrease liquid and measure ingredients carefully.
• Check cycle chosen for recipe.
• Allow to cool on a wire rack for 15–30 minutes
before slicing.
• Try increasing water or decreasing flour.
• Whole-grain breads will have a heavier texture.
• This is normal and will not affect the bread pan.
