Next time follow the same recipe but remove 2 TBSP of liquid from your measuring cup before putting it in the pan

Are you using Strong bread flour? You may be using a poor quality flour. All pyrpose flour is not suitable for bread.
Too much liquid or yeast will also cause bread to sink

Hi,

Most bread machine manuals include a wealth of information about how to use the models so that they work at their best and produce great loaves of bread. Many manuals also have a troubleshooting section near the end. Before you contact customer service or attempt to take apart your machine, read the manual completely and try restoring your machine to its original settings, testing it again, and finally trying the repair ideas offered in the troubleshooting section.

If you've misplaced your manual, you may be able to find a down loadable copy on the manufacturer's website.

If the problems you're having relate to your finished loaves of bread rather than to your bread machine itself, you might be able to solve them by experimenting with the machine's settings or the ingredients in your bread. For example, expired yeast could result in a loaf that doesn't rise, and especially warm weather could mean a loaf that will sink in the middle.

Play around with ingredient amounts and types to see if your loaves improve when you use certain combination or settings. You can also experiment with the machine itself, disassembling its parts and putting it together again after you attempt to locate the problem.

If your bread machine is still under warranty, customer service representatives from the manufacturing company should be able to offer you online or telephone assistance. If you're not able to resolve the issue over the phone, you may be able to send your machine back to the manufacturer for free or low-cost repairs.


Even if you don't have a warranty for your machine, you can still contact the manufacturer for troubleshooting assistance and repairs, although you may have to pay a fee. You can also search for appliance-repair centers in your area and check to see if any of them handle bread machines.

Have a nice day.

• Make sure it is good quality Strong White Flour (not plain flour)
• The amount of water you use is very important. Use scales for accurate results - 1ML = 1G for water
• Make sure the yeast is as per instructions regards type/quantity/quality.
• Double check that you are running the correct program.
• Always put the yeast in first, as you dont want the water in contact with water

Having failed that I would return the machine

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.

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).

Hope this helps!

I had a similar problem when I switched machines. It seems that most recipes will work in same size machines (1 or 1.5 lb loaf size). My issue was that my old machine had to have liquids in first and then dry ingredients (new machine is the opposite). I ruined several loaves before I figured out the issue. I would have never imagined the order of ingredients would make a big difference.
Good luck!
