What I want to know is...
Are you just dumping the ingredients in and just walking away??? Or
are you putting it in carefully, watching it form a ball and adding
water or flour and then walking away when you have a babies-bottom
ball of dough?
Just curious as you didn't mention anything about doing this.
I NEVER just dump and walk away. That is the way to disaster IMHO.
I stick around for about 15 minutes or so - watch the dough, add
water or flour as needed until I see the ball of dough forming and I
see the consistency I know will make a successful loaf of bread.
I've had my Oster for about 2 years now and it makes excellent bread.
I never walk away at all. Never. No matter how busy I am.
I usually make the bread early in the a.m., watch it then walk and do
what I've got to do. Come back when it's done and let it cool on a wire rack.
So is this what you are doing? Or are you dumping and walking? Never
pay attention to the manual - it always says you can add your
ingredients, walk away and come back to a great loaf of bread.
I did this early on and my hubby hated every one of those loaves.
