Hmmm…what recipe are you using? It could be a matter of the ratio of dry to wet ingredients being off. On a different note, apparently heavy bread can be caused by using low-grade flour (I googled it and found that to be a potential problem).

You may want to try using a different bread recipe and see if the result is any better. Happy baking!

I enjoy recipes that aren't too sweet…and this seems perfect. A snap to throw together and nutritious too!

Yes we make different kinds, French, Light Rye, Multi Grain and that good old raisin bread for breakfast. The machine is nice just fill, set and in 3 hours a wonderful loaf is ready to cool. It's only my husband and I so the 1 lb loaf is perfect to have fresh every other day. Sometimes they don't even get a chance to cool all the way before they get sliced. I love the end pieces!

Wow, you are much better on the homemade bread front than I am! Good for you! Do you make all kinds of bread (honey wheat, sourdough etc.)? I do love how you can make the slices as thick as you want! Don't get me started on bread puddings (I absolutely adore that dessert)!

I have one of those automatic bread machines, and I pull it out occasionally (maybe every 6 weeks). I like it, except that it only makes one loaf, and it takes over 3 hours to make one large loaf. I love making honey wheat bread in my bread machine. The beer bread I made last week was OK; I wouldn't make it again (though hubby seemed to really like it).

We make all our bread at home. I have a very nice 1lb loaf machine, we use it every other day. We do not care for the store bought breads and love the choice of how thick to make slices for different applications – and oh the lovely bread puddings and croutons we make!

A wonderful take on Boston Bread Bread. Being the bread freak that I am, I would gladly dig into that loaf.

What do you think of those automatic bread making machines? They were almost a big fad here in USA a couple of years ago.

I have one for th9se times when I want that fresh bread experience.
