What to do if the top and sides of my Kenwood Bread Maker bread cave in?
If the top and sides cave in, it's likely due to too much liquid or yeast. Reduce the liquid by 15ml/3tsp next time or add a little extra flour. Use the amount of yeast recommended in the recipe or try a quicker cycle. High humidity and warm weather may cause the dough to rise too fast, so chill the water or add milk straight from the fridge.
Why does my Kenwood BM366 bread stick to the pan?
Sticking can happen with prolonged use. Lightly wipe the inside of the bread pan with vegetable oil.
Why does my Kenwood BM366 bread have an open, coarse, holey texture?
An open, coarse, holey texture can occur if salt is omitted. Ensure you assemble ingredients as listed in the recipe. Also, it may be caused by using too much yeast or too much liquid. Make sure you measure the right amount of yeast and reduce liquid by 15ml/3tsp if needed.
Why is the top of my Kenwood BM366 Bread Maker bread inflated and mushroom-like?
An inflated, mushroom-like top suggests too much yeast, sugar, or flour, or not enough salt. Try reducing the yeast by 1/4tsp, sugar by 1tsp, and flour by 6 to 9tsp. Ensure you use the recommended amount of salt. If the weather is warm and humid, reduce the liquid by 15ml/3 tsp and the yeast by 1/4 tsp.
Why does my Kenwood BM366 Bread Maker have a burning odor during operation?
A burning odor during operation may be due to ingredients spilled inside the oven, which can burn on the heating unit. Be careful when adding ingredients to the pan. Also, do not use more ingredients than recommended and always measure accurately.
What to do if my Kenwood BM366 bread has a heavy dense texture?
A heavy, dense texture in your bread can result from using too much flour, not enough yeast, or not enough sugar. Ensure you measure all ingredients accurately.
What to do if my Kenwood BM366 loaves are flat and have no rising?
If your loaves are flat and not rising, ensure you haven't omitted the yeast and that the yeast isn't too old (check the expiry date). The liquid shouldn't be too hot; use the correct temperature for the bread setting. Also, avoid adding too much salt. If using the timer, keep the yeast dry by placing dry ingredients in the corners of the pan and creating a well in the center for the yeast.
What to do if my Kenwood Bread Maker bread collapsed while baking?
If your bread collapses during baking, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the bread maker is not in a draught or being jolted. Do not exceed the recommended ingredient quantities for a large loaf (max. 1Kg). Make sure you're using the correct amount of salt as per the recipe, as salt helps prevent over-proving. Accurately measure the yeast, and if the weather is warm and humid, reduce the liquid by 15ml/3tsp and the yeast by 1/4tsp.
