When baking a standard loaf in my Bread Machine, the top of the loaf seemed to collapse back in at some point, and instead of coming out with a nice rounded top, it looks like this:

Flat top

I've tried:

  • More yeast
  • Mixing in some self raising flour
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • Avoiding the timer settings
  • Chopping butter into really small pieces

The standard setting is a four hour bake, the machine is windowless so I can't tell if a particular stage is at fault. The bread is still edible and tastes fine.

The recipe is the most basic from the book that came with the machine

3/4 tsp yeast
400g strong white flour
1 tsp sugar
15g butter
1 tsp salt
280ml water
