It's also crucial to remember to add the yeast, placing it under the flour. Verify that you're using the correct amounts of water and flour, measuring with a measuring cup.

Why is the baked color too light on my Panasonic SD-253 Bread Maker?

  Donna BrownAug 27, 2025
  If the baked color of your bread is too light when using your Panasonic Bread Maker, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you're using the correct amount of sugar; if insufficient, add the correct amount. Verify that you've selected the proper baking color setting. Check if the inner lid is dirty and darkened, and if so, clean it. Also, ensure you're using the correct amount of ingredients, as an insufficient bread height can lead to a lighter color. Finally, if the bread rising is insufficient due to a high temperature (30°C or higher), use water at a temperature of 5°C or lower.

  If your bread rises too much when using the Panasonic Bread Maker, it could be due to several factors. You may be using too much sugar; try reducing the amount. Similarly, an excessive amount of yeast can cause over-rising, so reduce the yeast to a proper level. Using business-use flour with too much protein can also contribute, in which case you should reduce the amount of yeast. Ensure you are measuring the correct amounts of flour and water with a measuring cup, as excessive amounts can cause this issue. Finally, if you are using the bread maker at elevations of 1,000m or above, reduce the amount of yeast.
