If you have a bread machine recipe book follow it carefully. Look at your owner manual and read the part carefully about how your dough ball should look after about 5 minutes of kneading. If the top is sinking that usually means you need to use a little less liquid.
Hi, Take the pan out of the machine and see if you can turn the paddles by hand. If yes that's good...if no then paddles are sticking. Keep pan out of machine and start a kneading cycle. Look through the lid window and see if the motor shafts are turning. If no...then the belts fell off or are loose. If everything is fine then maybe it's the electronic panel. Hank
My experience with the machine is that it kneads perfectly, but you have to use ACTIVE DRY YEAST instead of another kind of yeast, and you have to throw the ingredients into the pan in order - do not mix the ingredients at all - just pour them in, and let the machine do the mixing. Except for substituting between BREAD FLOUR and WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, do not substitute any other ingredients. This one is very picky about the type of ingredients that you use - not for the innovator :-)
This also happened to me. I found out that the yeast in the box was out of date! Now I just use a new packet of equivilent size in any mix I use and have solved that particular problem.
Here's a good basic white bread recipe that works great with a BD2550
(and usually doesn't even **** the mixing blade off of the bottom of the
machine)
1 cup warm (not hot) water
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 tablespoons butter/margarine
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon yeast
Heat the water and add the milk to it. Dissolve the sugar and salt into
this mix and pour the liquid into the bottom of the bread maker bucket
(make sure the mixing blade is already in). Melt and add the butter to
this mix. Add the 4 cups of flour directly on top, but do not mix it
in. The flour will float on top of the liquid. Make a small dimple in
the top of the flour in the middle with your finger and add the yeast
into that little crater (at no point while adding ingredients do you
let the yeast touch the liquid). Set the bread maker for basic setting
1, light crust, 2lb loaf and let it do it's thing. 3 hours later,
you'll have a nice loaf of white bread with good consistency and
density, and it usually leaves the mixing blade in the bucket (rather
than having to dig it out of the loaf after).
