the only thing i could suggest is the ingredients you have to layer them correctly in the bread machine.

I have found that if I cut back a small amount of water this doesn't happen. Maybe 2 tablespoons.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I came to the same conclusion. Thanks for your input. I still think that the manufacturer should have addressed this problem and done something to correct it. The other machine I had did not have this problem. I only got this because I needed to make larger loaves.

Believe or not, it is the bread machine that failed. I returned mine after 6 months of use and it was supposedly one of the best models out there. With me it was hit or miss. The bread would either turn well or really bad, even if the same steps were taken. A lot of it has to do with the temperature in the room. In the winter months the bread machine didn't work so well. We have switched to making our own bread in a dutch oven instead. Get yourself a copy of "My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method" by Jim Lahey.

I suggest you call zoster customer Service because I do not want to suggest you do something that will cause damage to your Breadmaker. That being said, I find I have to really push the pan into place, with a little pressure, and then I hear it 'click'. Sometimes, I have to find the right 'angle' for it to click in. At first, I was afraid of applying that 'little bit of pressure' my pan needed to apply, but then I read a review that said that us what another owner did; now, I know how much pressure to apply.

I would add it near the end and let it rise a little more. I have added large chunks of chocolate to the plain country white bread and it came out great!

Had no problem with that but my dough wasn't right and it stuck to maker. Good luck

Please do your self a favor, NO a huge favor and purchase another oven. Preheat is an eternity. toast white dried out bread.

I've had that happen as well (once) and I'm not sure why. The last loaf I made though was perfect - maybe add 3-4 minutes onto the cooking time (??)

The hole is standard issue with bread makers or any I've been around. Just cover the bottom of the pan in water and let it soak free. Don't try to force it or you will damage the seals. Been there and done that one.

I used a double loaf recipe and it came out ok.... If you want it taller try putting 3 loaf recipe

I had the same problem. It won't hurt anything and will gradually go away. Its a great bread box.

My experience is if you let the bread sit too long afterward, it collapses. Also if you use too much yeast, it collapse.

I wish I could be of help to you Deborah. Honestly I do not know. My suggestion would be if you want to try it to line it with parchment paper so the bread dough does not stick to the pan.

Usually when your bread falls, it's because you have too much liquid. Try cutting back just a little on the liquid and see if that helps.

Mine was like that also but frankly it didn't seem to matter. The lip of the top should at least have some overhang on the bottom. My top and bottom did not fit snugly. The bread come out great anyway. I do wish it was glazed inside but other than that it has worked fine. If it is a gap that you can actually see in the side though then it isn't right and I would send it back. Hope this helps.

There are a number of reasons this could happen. The paddle is not meant for the exact bread machine that you have or the paddle may be broken. I would return the paddle to the place it was bought and explain that it doesn't fit right. This attachment should be tight on the piton that it fits on.
