BM overcooking bottom of loaf?
I got a new breadmaker this week, it's a Morphy Richards one, i've only done two loaves but both time the bottom half of the loaf has been overcooked.

Bisquick help please........
as the title says, I need some help :o I have a recipe I'd like to make for lunchboxes (mini quiches) and it says to use bisquick.
