Why is my Oster 5838-EXPRESSBAKE-BREAD-MAKER Bread Maker bread too brown?
If your bread is too brown, it's likely due to too much sugar in the recipe. Try reducing the sugar by 1 tablespoon at a time. You might also try selecting a lighter crust color setting on your Oster Bread Maker.
Why didn't my Oster Bread Maker bread rise enough?
Several factors could cause your bread not to rise enough. You might have forgotten to add salt, used old or the wrong type of flour, used old yeast, or not used hot water (except for EXPRESSBAKE™ cycles). Try using less flour (a teaspoon less at a time), more yeast (1/4 teaspoon more at a time), or less water (a teaspoon less at a time).
Why does my Oster 5838-EXPRESSBAKE-BREAD-MAKER Bread Maker bread have a heavy texture?

What to do if the sides of my Oster 5838-EXPRESSBAKE-BREAD-MAKER Bread Maker bread collapse?
