Bread rises too high and sticks to the lid

I just started using my machine again using store bought mixes.  In this machine cool water works best.  Warm water bread doesn't rise as high.  

My problem is that as the bread bakes, it hits the lid and sticks.  Then I have to wet the leftover crust and work at getting it off.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I have a Welbilt ABM 3100 with a window in the lid.  I can see it rising.  Thought about using some Pam or something to at least make it not stick.  Any suggestions?

Try reducing the amount of bread mix you are using, and reducing the yeast some as well.
Sometimes things happen different to what they are suppose to, and we have to experiment a bit to get the result we are after.

Take a pinch of dough away to reduce the amount of dough if you are happy with every other aspect of the bread and mix.
