Hi, I have had one of these breadmakers for a couple of years, have allways found the bread to be really stodgy & doughy, not at all light and fluffy like bread should be - have experimented with different flours but to no avail, can anyone suggest a good recipe for this machine in particular, and the best cycle to use while cooking? I have also lost the manual, so it would be a big help if anyone knows where i could download one. thanks.
Hi I have just bought one of these -and so far following the recipe-have found the same thing heavy and not like nice light bread--I was looking for alternative recioes to try but seems like it may be machine?

Maybe try adding some more flour, or less water. The recipe given isn't always the best, you can even leave it in for a bit longer, it won't burn at all.
your question need finishing, but for what's written, this is true. Fine flour equals stodgy bread. Strong flour = course ground. Special strong flour for bread making is better for bread than home ground flour because it rises and aerates better. However I like my heavy home ground flour because I like grinding it. Weird but true.
What kind of breadmaker? Could be you actually forgot to put in the yeast or the yeast was too old.
Also, you have to let the breadmaker cool before attempting another loaf right away.
Is your yeast too old? Was the dough too stiff? It should feel like a baby's bottom when it's just finished mixing. This could be caused by improperly measuring the flour. Do not scoop the flour. Gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and scrape it off at level. Are you using bread flour, not all-purpose? Did you keep the salt and yeast separate? Have you moved (different water, altitude) or changed your food lives in any other ways (such as using Splenda instead of sugar)? Are you using tap water or filtered water? Filtered water is recommended.
Tell me the program you are selecting and send me the recipe you are using. Also please advise the kind of flour you are using. Is it all-purpose flour, bread flour, self-rising flour etc.
I don't use a machine.
