Help - bread suddenly not rising - Panasonic breadmaker

31 replies

Poppytime · 18/07/2016 12:05

Hoping someone has some help/suggestions! Have a Panasonic sd-zb2502 breadmaker for about 3.5 years now. Love it and has made bread perfectly for ages. Usually use a granary/seed Wessex mill flour, menu 4, medium. Ran out so used waitrose love life crunchy mixed seed flour (red packet). Also opened a new Allisons yeast tub. Used both of these before and don't remember issues - but bread this morning half the size and like a brick! Making a new one now but just had a peek and looks the same Sad

Could it be the flour? Manual suggests this and also possibly humidity can affect? It is v hot in London today...or duff yeast (is there such a thing?). I'm irrationally put out by it, as it has always been fine and haven't bought bread in years (though will of course if have to, hungry DC to feed!)

Thanks in advance!

My Panasonic Breadmaker goes through the rest/mix/rise/bake programme on the display but nothing happens with the ingredients. When it should have finished the mix is just as I put it in.

Add water... hee hee (sorry).

My bread is dense and gooey at the bottom, and full of air at the top. Recipe is Granary, size M. Would prefer uniform consistency - any ideas?

Thank you everyone - I had a sudden 'brick' event. Yeast was the problem !! Amazing!! Thank goodness for you guys... or I might have had to buy a new machine.

This just happened to me as well I have checked the yeast use by dates and they are all good. However i never kept them in the fridge so today I will try and see if the yeast activates in a little warm water and sugar covered with cling film.

Happened to mine but it wasn’t the yeast I think the drive shaft thingy has gone.

Debating a new one. Mines 14 yo.
