Problem
Possible cause / solution
The bread has large air
pockets.
• Too much yeast was used. Check the amount stated in
the recipe and measure it out precisely.
• Too much water was used or the water was too hot.
Some types of
fl
our absorb more water than others.
Next time add around 10 – 20 ml less liquid.
The bread has collapsed
in on itself after it has
risen.
• The type of
fl
our does not have good baking properties.
Use another type of
fl
our.
• Too much liquid was used. Next time add around 10 –
20 ml less liquid.
• Too little salt was used. Check the amount stated in the
recipe and measure it out precisely.
• Too much yeast was used. Check the amount stated in
the recipe and measure it out precisely.
• Was the lid open during baking? Do not leave the lid
open during baking.
• The air humidity is too high or it is too warm. Make sure
that the room is well ventilated.
The bread has risen too
much.
• Too much yeast / water was used. Check the amounts
stated in the recipe and measure out precisely.
• Check whether ingredients containing a lot of water
were used. Next time add less water if ingredients con-
taining a lot of liquid are being used.
• Is the water too warm? The water used should be at
room temperature.
• Not
enough
fl
our was used. Check the amount stated
in the recipe and measure out the
fl
our using accurate
scales.
• Too little salt was used. Check the amount stated in the
recipe and measure it out precisely.
The bread is too light
and sticky.
• Too much yeast was used. Check the amount stated in
the recipe and measure it out precisely.
• Is the yeast too old? Check the best-before date.
• The bread was not baked for long enough. Increase the
baking time.
• Was the baking process interrupted (power outage,
accidental pressing of the
START-PAUSE / STOPP
button)? If the baking process is interrupted for too
long, the end result is generally unsatisfactory and
cannot be corrected.
The bread is too dry and
too solid.
• Too little liquid was used. Next time add around 10 – 20
ml more liquid.
• Too much yeast was used. Check the amount stated in
the recipe and measure it out precisely.
• Is the yeast too old? Check the best-before date.
