  If the bread you're making with your Kambrook Bread Maker has a doughy centre, it might be due to a few reasons. Ensure you're accurately measuring your ingredients. Also, the flour you're using might have a low protein percentage; try using a high-protein flour or adding gluten flour. Expired flour could also be the culprit, so discard any old flour and use fresh flour. Finally, make sure you're not using self-raising flour, as it already contains a raising agent; instead, use bread or plain flour.

  If your bread from the Kambrook Bread Maker has a heavy, dense texture, it might be because of a few things. Make sure you're measuring your ingredients correctly. It could also be that your flour has a low protein percentage, so try using a high-protein flour or adding gluten flour. Expired flour could also be the problem, so discard it and use fresh flour. Also, ensure you're using bread or plain flour, not self-raising flour, since self-raising flour already has a raising agent.
