Bread texture is Condensed

January 18, 2022 - 8:37am -- amarpatekar1

Hi All,

This is my first post.

Im a amateur baker & recently purchased 'Breville Bread maker'.

So far I've baked twice and the outcome has not been good.

Both the times the bread has come out like a cake density.

I dont see any bubbles in the bread.

Can any one suggest what might be the problem?

Im attaching the recipe used along with photos of the the outcome.

Recipe: Basic raisin fruit loaf bread

Machine used: Breville the Custom Loaf Pro BBM800

Settings: Basic, light crust option

bread loaf weight: 750gm

50:50 wholemeal seeded and rye loaf, with rye flakes

November 25, 2021 - 1:57pm -- KateThatcham

I've had my Goodmans bread machine for many years but had got out of the habit of using it until very recently.

I like the nuttiness of rye bread but it can be very dense and heavy, so I've been trying various alternatives, experimenting with the ratio of flours.

My new Zoji

I have been making my own bread for years mostly from KA flour website and have had good success.  I was happy with my Panasonic but two of them walked off the counter and shattered. Due to increasing arthritis in  my hands, I was gifted with a new Zojirushi. Today I followed the basic white bread  recipe to a T.

1. Very frustrating to use the course, especially since my machine is in the dark.

Sides collapse

June 25, 2021 - 4:55pm -- tc4all

I make a diabetic bread with odd ingredients. That said, everything comes out fine except during the cooling phase, the sides collapse in. It's a nice tall loaf and is fine initially, but once the side's collapse in, those side edges get too dense.  In general, what could cause this.  I can post this odd recipe but I think it's more of a general question.

Bread machine very inconsistant

February 4, 2021 - 4:09pm -- slowandsteady

I have a Cuisinart machine and the breads fail unless I use only all purpose flour and only make 1.5 lb loaves. Bread flour doesn't work and rye and whole wheat flours, even mixed with all purpose flour (and following the recipies that came with the machine) tend to be very dense on the bottom. Some combos lead to dense on the bottom and risen and collapsed on the top. Freshly bought yeast didn't change anything. I bought some vital wheat gluten but don't have a clue how much to add.

Things I'd like to be able to do.

1) 2-lb. loaves

Bread making machines?

December 27, 2020 - 3:18pm -- BML

I baked a loaf of bread today following a standard recipe and it seemed stodgy perhaps someone might offer a reason. My daughter picked that disappointment to visit us and told me she used a Bread Making machine. Bearing in mind mixing the ingredients then kneading that mixture I have difficulty in understanding just how and just how effective a machine could be perhaps someone could enlighten me.

Simple recipe needed

November 22, 2020 - 5:40am -- Daily Bread

I am looking for a simple bread machine recipe that yields a 2 pound loaf. I don't bake in my bread maker so the dough needs to be a ball and not a gooey mess like I made yesterday lol! Right before the second proof I remove the dough ball and put in my pan. This is for my children, so it just needs a simple recipe... the flour i am using is the king Arthur's whole wheat flour. It has a 14% protein. If you have the recipe in grams or weight that would be awesome, I typically make my other breads by weight.
