help with my bread

something as changed!!! i havent changed the bread maker, flour, yeast, anything but my bread has started,more often than not, to come out rubbery. i know it sounds strange, but it is heavy, rubbery and actually feels dampy to the touch. toasts wonderfully but it isnt right and i dont know whats causing this.

i weigh all the ingrediants very carefully and i am using what the receipt says.

advice please.

  • Believe it or not if the weather is damp it affects the bread dough - do you actually bake the bread in th BM or just use it to mix the dough? - I do the latter and it works much better than baking in the BM

    Do you take it out of the machine when it has finished baking or do what I sometimes do and leave it in there a while? If you do then it will absorb the condensation making it feel a bit damp. Still tastes nice though !
