Why doesn't my DeLonghi Bread Maker rise enough?
- B
  Brandon AllenAug 1, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your bread from rising sufficiently. It could be a normal situation, or it could be due to insufficient liquid. Try increasing the liquid by 15ml/3tsp. Ensure you're using strong bread flour instead of plain white flour and avoid all-purpose flour. For optimal results, use fast action 'easy blend' yeast, checking the expiry date and measuring the recommended amount. Keep yeast and sugar separate when adding them to the bread pan. Note that some cycles naturally produce shorter loaves.

What to do if my DeLonghi DBM450 produces flat loaves with no rising?

  If your loaves are flat and not rising, several issues could be at play. Ensure you haven't omitted the yeast and that the yeast isn't expired. Check the expiry date. Also, the liquid might be too hot; use the correct temperature for your bread setting. Too much salt can also inhibit rising, so use the recommended amount. To prevent the yeast from getting wet prematurely, place dry ingredients in the corners of the pan, creating a well in the center for the yeast.

Why does the top and sides cave in when using my DeLonghi Bread Maker?
- R
  Richard GutierrezAug 12, 2025
  If the top and sides of your bread are caving in, it could be due to too much liquid. Try reducing the liquid by 15ml/3tsp next time or add a little extra flour. Also, ensure you're using the recommended amount of yeast or try a quicker cycle. High humidity and warm weather can also contribute; try chilling the water or using milk straight from the fridge.

How to fix a mushroom-like top on bread from my DeLonghi DBM450 Bread Maker?
- A

  A mushroom-like top usually indicates an imbalance in ingredients. Reduce the yeast by 1/4tsp, the sugar by 1tsp, or the flour by 6 to 9tsp. Also, ensure you are using the recommended amount of salt. In warm, humid weather, reduce both liquid by 15ml/3 tsp and yeast by 1/4 tsp.

Why does my DeLonghi Bread Maker produce bread with a gnarly, knotted, and not smooth top?
- N
  Nicole CooperAug 25, 2025
  A gnarly, knotted top can result from insufficient liquid; try increasing it by 15ml/3tsp. Ensure you measure the flour accurately. Also, make sure the dough is made under the best possible conditions.
