READMAKER PROBLEM SOLUTION
There are several possible
solutions. The bread may have
been left in the bread pan too
long after baking. Remove the
bread from the pan sooner and
allow it to cool. Try using more
flour (a tsp. at a time), or less
yeast (1/4 tsp. at a time), or less
water or liquid (a tsp. at a time).
This could also be the result
of forgetting to add salt
to the recipe.

OLUTION

too much flour or not enough
water. Try using less flour (a tsp.
less at a time), or try using more
water (1/4 tsp. more at a time).
This is usually the result of
adding too much sugar to the
recipe. Try using less sugar
(1 Tbsp. at a time). You can
also try selecting a lighter
crust color selection.
This is usually the result of
repeatedly lifting the lid of the

while the breadmaker is in
operation. You can also try
selecting a darker crust color
selection.
