There are several possible
solutions. The bread may have
been left in the bread pan too
long after baking. Remove the
bread from the pan sooner and
allow it to cool. Try using more
flour (a tsp. at a time), or less
yeast (1/4 tsp. at a time), or less
water or liquid (a tsp. at a time).
This could also be the result
of forgetting to add salt
to the recipe.
The sides of the bread collapse
and the bottom of the bread
is damp.

This is usually a result of using
too much flour or not enough
water. Try using less flour (a tsp.
less at a time), or try using more
water (1/4 tsp. more at a time).
This is usually the result of
adding too much sugar to the
recipe. Try using less sugar
(1 Tbsp. at a time). You can
also try selecting a lighter
crust color selection.
This is usually the result of
repeatedly lifting the lid of the
bread machine or leaving the
lid open while the bread is
baking. Be sure the lid is shut
while the breadmaker is in
operation. You can also try
selecting a darker crust color
selection.
The bread has a floured top.
