My breville bread maker is not cooking bread properly. It rises but when cooking is finished it sinks with a big dent in the top. Any suggestions why?

I had the same problem after storing my machine for several years, BUT, I lucked out...I just added a little warm water to my pan and then turned the machine on and let the paddle turn a few rotations and walla!!....it freed itself and is now making great loaves once again!

SOURCE: Bread Rises Beautifully - then sinks in middle during bake cycle

Sinking in the middle means that there was too much rising for the amount of structure in the bread.
Usual causes:
-too much yeast (reduce 1/2 tsp.)
-too much sugar (reduce 1/2 tsp.)
-not enough salt (increase 1/4 tsp.)
-too much water (reduce 1 tbsp)
Another possible remedy: use "best for bread" flour, it has more gluten, or add gluten separately, 1 tbsp.

Start with reducing amount of water.

SOURCE: Bread does not rise

Bread with a sunken top is likely to be a problem with the Panasonic Bread Machine. This is probably the result of too much fluid and some overactive yeast. First try a bit less fluid. If this does not work, a bit less heat, and a bit more salt should inhibit the yeast. Good luck.

my bread falls as soon as the baking program starts help
