How to fix bread that doesn’t slice well and is very sticky from Kenwood Bread Maker?
If your Kenwood Bread Maker bread is sticky and doesn't slice well, it might be because you sliced it while it was too hot. Allow the bread to cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes to release steam before slicing. Also, make sure you're using a good bread knife.
Why are my Kenwood Bread Maker loaves flat and not rising?
If you're getting flat loaves with no rising in your Kenwood Bread Maker, make sure you haven't omitted the yeast and that the yeast isn't too old by checking the expiration date. Also, ensure the liquid isn't too hot; use the correct temperature for your bread setting. Avoid adding too much salt and, 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.
Why does my Kenwood Rapid-bake BM250 Bread Maker bread have an inflated top?
If your Kenwood Bread Maker produces loaves with an inflated, mushroom-like top, it could be due to too much yeast, so try reducing it by 1/4 tsp. Excess sugar can also cause this, so reduce it by 1 tsp. Too much flour is another potential cause; reduce it by 6 to 9 tsp. Insufficient salt or warm, humid weather can also contribute. In humid conditions, reduce both liquid and yeast by 15ml/3 tsp and 1/4 tsp, respectively.
Why is the center of my Kenwood Rapid-bake BM250 Bread Maker loaf raw?
If the center of your Kenwood Bread Maker loaf is raw, it could be due to too much liquid; reduce it by 15ml/3tsp. If there was a power cut lasting more than 8 minutes, you'll need to discard the ingredients and start again. Also, ensure you're not exceeding the maximum ingredient quantities.
Why did my Kenwood Bread Maker bread collapse while baking?
If your bread collapses while baking in the Kenwood Bread Maker, it might be because the machine was in a draught or was knocked during rising; reposition the bread maker. Ensure you're not exceeding the bread pan's capacity. Using too little or no salt can also cause this. Measure yeast accurately and, in warm, humid weather, reduce both liquid and yeast by 15ml/3tsp and 1/4tsp, respectively.
What to do if my Kenwood Bread Maker was unplugged or lost power?

If in the rising cycle, remove the dough, shape it, place it in a greased loaf tin (23 x 12.5cm), cover it, and let it rise until doubled. Then, use the bake-only setting or bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 30-35 minutes. If in the baking cycle, use the bake-only setting or bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC, removing the top rack.
