Every time I try the whole wheat banana recipe now, it flops in
exactly that way.  I originally suspected the machine was the
problem because the first two times I made it, it came out
perfectly.  The other recipes that I have seen problems with are the
Russian Black Bread and the Egg Bread.  I haven't made the egg
bread myself but a woman I work with has.  She says it worked fine
for her the first few times before she started getting a gooey
center.  I will check the recipes and try with different oils and
let you know what happens.  

My machine is actually the Welbilt so I have not been able to avail
myself of DAK's reknown service policies.  I have recounted my
experience with Welbilt in this forum and haven't been satisfied.
If you get any help from DAK, I'd be interested in hearing about
it.
