What to do if the baked bread is difficult to remove from the Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 Bread Maker pan?
- J
  Jessica SummersAug 18, 2025
  If the baked bread is difficult to remove from the bread pan, it's likely that the kneading blade is stuck on the drive shaft. Remove the bread pan from the bread maker, invert it, and tap it on a chopping board to help remove the bread. Once the bread is removed, soak the bread pan in hot water for 10 minutes. Then, remove the kneading blade from the bread pan and clean it.

Why are the ingredients not blending in my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 Bread Maker?
- K
  Kenneth BlackburnAug 21, 2025
  If the ingredients are not blending properly and the bread hasn't baked well, it may be due to several reasons: * Wrong program selected. * Too many dry ingredients. * Opening the lid too many times during the cycle. * Ingredients added in the wrong order. To resolve this: * Check whether the recipe is appropriate for the chosen program. * Ensure ingredients are measured accurately and added in the proper order. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the pan while the bread maker is mixing. * Keep the lid closed during the last cycle. * Check the kneading blade for any damage.

What to do if my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 is beeping and shows E01 on the LCD screen?
- T
  Taylor PetersAug 23, 2025
  If your Breville Bread Maker is beeping and displaying 'E01' on the LCD screen, it means the bread maker hasn't cooled down after the previous baking cycle and the interior is still warm. To resolve this, unplug the bread maker, remove the bread pan, and allow the bread maker to cool down to room temperature before using it again.

Why is smoke coming out of my Breville Bread Maker during baking?
- R
  Richard KramerAug 26, 2025
  Smoke coming out of the baking chamber during baking usually means that flour or other ingredients have spilled into the baking chamber. To fix this, stop the bread maker, switch it off, and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow the bread maker to cool completely, then wipe any excess flour from the baking chamber with a damp cloth. As a tip, measure ingredients on the kitchen counter and add them to the bread pan before inserting the pan into the bread maker.

  If your Breville Bread Maker is beeping and displaying 'E00' on the LCD screen, this indicates that the ambient temperature is too low. To solve this, use the bread maker at room temperature.

Why is my bread heavy and dense when using my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 Bread Maker?
- K
  Katherine SummersAug 30, 2025
  If the bread is heavy and dense, it could be due to too much flour and not enough water, or too much fruit or whole wheat flour. To fix this, reduce the amount of flour and increase the water. If using fruit or whole wheat flour, reduce the amount of these ingredients and increase the yeast.

Why is there dry powder on the surface of my bread from Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250?
- F
  Felicia RhodesSep 2, 2025
  Dry powder on the surface of the bread can occur if you're using ingredients that don't dissolve well or have strong viscosity, such as butter or bananas, or if there's insufficient mixing and too little water. Check if the amount of water is appropriate and ensure the mixing mechanism is working correctly during operation.

Why is my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 making abnormal noises?
- N
  Nicholas McguireSep 4, 2025
  Abnormal noise from the bread maker can be caused by the bread pan not being placed properly inside the bread maker, or the dough being too large to stir. Ensure the dough is prepared correctly and reduce the quantities of ingredients if required.

Why does my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 bread have too many holes?
- M
  Michael KelleySep 7, 2025
  Too many holes in the baked bread can occur if there is too much water and no salt, or if the water temperature is too high. Check the water temperature.

Why is the fermented volume of the bread too large causing the lid to open on my Breville the Baker's Dozen LBM250 Bread Maker?
- E
  Elizabeth VangSep 9, 2025
  If the fermented volume of the bread is too large, causing the lid to open, it means too much yeast, flour, or water has been added. Reduce the amount of these ingredients appropriately.
