bread flops while baking

It sounds like it is over inflated. Does your machine have a manual with a trouble shooting guide? Can you reduce the rise cycle time or temperature? Does this happen in delay mode? I might try using less yeast, colder ingredients, or flour with a higher protein level - i.e., bread flour, particularly a brand from the northern US or Canada like King Arthur.

Hi there,

New to this group, but I feel I can help out a bit here, maybe.

Bread "falling"in a breadmaker usually means that you have slightly too much liquids in your dough. Experiment a little with taking out small amounts - and i do mean small amounts- of liquid, either water or milk.

Cheers,

Bas

It can also be an issue with too much yeast.

If you can still find a copy of "Bread Machine Magic", the authors give excellent advice on how to dial in the hydration of your bread machine dough. That series is, im(ns)ho, the best of the bread machine cookbooks.
