Answer 1

Hi  

   I have a bread maker and i hate it it never makes good bread i have tried everything and it doesn't make bread like i can make just in a tomato juice can that is how my mom taught me  .

    My bread maker was a gift and i was told it is easy but it was not and i don't think it was any easier than just making the bread and baking it . That is fun and it smells so good . So I dropped mine off at the land fill    Happy baking        

Answer 2

You may be over working the bread, also dont tear the bread when you kneading it that will rip the gluten strands and ruin it.

Answer 3

i am not sure what is wrong with your bread maker ,but it is much easier to make bread by hand and much better quality. it will mixed , kneaded in less than 20 mins,  

Answer 4

its undercooked, bakes it at a higher temp, 400 for 35 minutes

Answer 5

Ive got a Morphy Richards breadmaker and ive always had perfect bread, just a thought, are you using the right yeast (quick dried) ?? and  bread flour??!! Also they have different settings for making/baking different loaves, if its on the wrong setting you wont get good bread. My mate bought one a month ago, she said her bread was inedible,turns out she was using the wrong flour! Theres a trouble shooting guide in the instruction book too, have you checked/read that??

Answer 6

Try adding an extra 1 quarter of a cup of flower

Answer 7

If the bread is doughy then it either has not enough flour or it is not baking long enough. Try adusting the lenght of baking time or temperature.
