Hello, Julz -

Instead of looking for more recipes for your Crofton bread maker, or any other bread maker, I looked for information as to why the bread made with a bread maker would collapse on top.

The answers I found on this online baking formum:
http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/9725/bread-machine-loaf-collapse-when-baking-starts
may prove instructive.

To summarize, some of the causes and remedies for bread maker bread collapsing on top:
- You may reside at a high altitude and have not adjusted the recipe so that it does not over-proof [over-rise]. Cut down on the yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Even if you are not at a high altitude, try a recipe with reduced amounts of yeast, sugar, and salt (try reducing the amounts by 1/4 to 1/3)
- Use the dough mix cycle; Then turn the machine off and let the dough rise a little less than the recipe calls for; When you see the dough has risen turn the machine on to bake.
- If your bread maker allows,.reduce the amount of time between rise and bake

I did find a PDF document (Adobe Reader software - free) for a model of a Crofton Breadmaker, model MD 8505. In case you do not have a manual for your machine. The manual I found has information on how to make adjustments for altitude (page 22) and other adjustments to make (pages 23 - 24), including what may cause the loaf to fall while baking. This is the link to the manual:

Best wishes.

Here's the manual...you may want to review how you are making your bread (have you recently changed any of the ingredients?):

This machine appears to be similar to SUNBEAM Brand GL5400 Ice Cream Machine sold here in AUSTRALIA. I have one of these myself.
Had no luck finding your Manual/Recipes on any of the international KENWOOD sites ... BUT found downloadable PDF file MANUAL/RECIPES on Australian SUNBEAM site ... which should be exactly what you need.
Go to www.sunbeam.com.au to download your items from Manuals and/or Recipes ... ok

I have a 20 year old Panasonic that we have used virtually every day for 20 years!  When we first got the machine we had the same problem that you are experiencing.  The trick for us was to use bottled water, we found that the chlorine in tap water killed the yeast.  The other trick that improved our bread was weighing the flour rather than measuring in cups. Until you have lots of experience, do stick precisely to the recipes.  mmmm--fresh bread!

My best results

6 heaped tablespoons whole meal
2 heaped tablespoons strong white
2/3 Teaspoons dark brown sugar
A healthy squeeze of tomato puree (adds ascorbic acid and makes the bead last longer)
Pinch of salt
about 3grams dried yeast

select "dough" (9 on mine)

When the program end bake in an oven at gas mark 5

I have never really been satisfied with a square loaf with the paddle hole in it. Also the bread ends up really heavy. I think this is because the bread sweats rather than bakes

The bread-maker is also easier to clean after just making dough, it produces better dough than i can by hand and the machine gets on with it while i can do something else!

white bread is 99 cents a loaf at safeway.
wheat bread is buy one get one free

Hi
I had a similar problem in making sourdough bread and noted on some websites the importance of correct salt and surgar quantities for rising. I increased my quantities to correct the problem. Of course the recipe was different but it may help.
