Breadmaker Misfire
January 5, 2012
There is nothing like coming home to a house that smells like freshly baked bread. Until you find this in the breadmaker:
I have no idea what went wrong. It’s still edible as we enjoyed hunks of it with some soup tonight. But it’s definitely not going to make the sandwiches I intended. Back to the drawing board!

Hi I'm Amy and I like to make things at home as a way to be more healthy and eco-friendly.
Don’t feel bad – I gave up on my breadmaker after I tried a million and a half times and never made a successful loaf of bread. Convenience, ha.
I have enjoyed reading your blogs and feel that you deserve additional recognition. So, you have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by little ole me – As explained to me to accept the award; (1) You must list 7 random things about yourself that people don’t know, (2) nominate bloggers to receive the award. I see people nominating 4 to 10 bloggers and (3) post a picture of the award.

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My wife and I are consistently having a similar problem, but quite a bit worse than your picture. The top of the bread is completely lumpy and “streaky” with a look similar to pulled taffy. I think maybe it’s not rising properly? Any tips?
Hi Jon! I’m not completely sure what happened. My husband made a loaf of white bread the next day that turned out perfect. So it could’ve been something with the wheat flour I used though I’m not sure what that could be. I also used a delay timer so it’s possible that the water was not the right temperature to activate the yeast by the time the breadmaker actually started.
