The Kneading
Paddle was stuck
in the bread
Make sure the Kneading Paddle is mounted properly before
adding ingredients to the Bread Pan and baking.
Sometimes denser or crustier loaves of bread may pull the
Kneading Paddle out with them when you remove the loaves
after baking. When this happens, use a non-metal utensil and
gently remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf.
TROUBLE SHOOTING (continued)
Symptom
The bread rose
too high
The bread didn’t
rise enough
The dough looks
like batter, or the
dough ball is still
sticky, not smooth
and round
The dough ball is
lumpy or too dry
Possible Solutions
Make sure not to add too much yeast, water or flour. Too
much of any of these may cause the loaf to rise more than
it should.
Did you add enough yeast, water or sweetener?
Make sure to add ingredients in the proper order: liquids,
dry ingredients, yeast. Make sure yeast doesn’t get wet
until the Breadman
®
mixes the ingredients together.
NOTE: Typically, bread made with whole grain flours
will not rise as high as bread made with refined flours.
During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a
time, letting it mix in well. For most breads, your dough ball
should become round, smooth, not sticky to the touch, and
should bounce back when you press it with your finger.
During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of water at a
time, letting it mix in well.
The bread didn’t
rise at all
Make sure yeast is not left out. Also check the date code on
the yeast and that it is always the last ingredient put into the
pan. Make sure the yeast doesn’t come into contact with salt
or any liquid ingredients.
