Why does my Kenwood Bread Maker bread have a gnarly, knotted top?
If your Kenwood Bread Maker bread has a gnarly, knotted top that isn't smooth, it could be due to not enough liquid; increase it by 15ml/3tsp. Too much flour can also cause this, so measure flour accurately.
Why does my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300 bread have an open, coarse, holey texture?
An open, coarse, holey texture in your Kenwood Bread Maker bread can occur if salt is omitted; assemble ingredients as listed in the recipe. Too much yeast or liquid can also cause this; measure the right amount of recommended yeast and reduce liquid by 15ml/3tsp.
Why is there a burning odor from my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300?
If you notice a burning odor during your Kenwood Bread Maker's operation, it could be due to ingredients spilled inside the oven; be careful when adding ingredients to the pan, as they can burn on the heating unit and cause smoke. Another cause could be a pan leak. Also, ensure you're not exceeding the bread pan's capacity; use the recommended amount of ingredients and always measure accurately.
Why does my Kenwood Bread Maker bread have a heavy, dense texture?
A heavy, dense texture in your Kenwood Bread Maker bread can result from using too much flour, so measure accurately. Also, not enough yeast or sugar can cause this issue, so make sure to measure the right amount of recommended yeast and sugar.
Why do the top and sides of my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300 bread cave in?
If the top and sides of your bread cave in when using your Kenwood Bread Maker, it could be due to too much liquid; reduce it by 15ml/3tsp next time or add a little extra flour. Also, using too much yeast can cause this; use the amount recommended in the recipe or try a quicker cycle. High humidity and warm weather may cause the dough to rise too fast; chill the water or add milk straight from the fridge.
What to do if the center of my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300 loaf is raw?
If the center of your loaf from the Kenwood Bread Maker is raw, it might be due to too much liquid; try reducing it by 15ml/3tsp. A power cut during operation could also be the cause; if this happens, you'll need to discard the ingredients and start again. Lastly, ensure you're not exceeding the machine's capacity; reduce the amounts to the maximum quantities allowed.
Why does my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300 Bread Maker bread have an inflated, mushroom-like top?
If your Kenwood Bread Maker produces loaves with an inflated, mushroom-like top, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using too much yeast; try reducing it by 1/4 tsp. Excess sugar or flour could also be the culprit; reduce sugar by 1 tsp or flour by 6 to 9 tsp. Conversely, not enough salt can cause this issue, so ensure you're using the recommended amount. Warm, humid weather can also contribute, so in such conditions, reduce both liquid by 15ml/3 tsp and yeast by 1/4 tsp.
What to do if my Kenwood Rapid-Bake BM300 Bread Maker makes flat loaves with no rising?
If you're getting flat loaves with no rising from your Kenwood Bread Maker, make sure you haven't omitted the yeast. Check the yeast's expiry date to ensure it's still active. The liquid you're using might be too hot; use the correct temperature for your bread setting. Also, verify you haven't added too much salt and that if you're using the timer, the yeast didn't get wet before the bread-making process started; place dry ingredients in the corners of the pan and create a well in the center for the yeast.
