It mixes the dough ball very well, but the bread is never bakes when the entire cycle is finished. What am i doing wrong, or is it just a defective machine. i used the recipe book that came with the machine and i used one simple recipe i found on the internet for french bread. none of them worked. the bread was always the same, uncooked and pasty white still, like lightly hardened dough on the outside, while the inside was always still soft and very moist and mushy. I am not an experienced breadmaker so i really need help because my husband looooves to have fresh hot bread every day. I just wanna make the guy happy... I don't know how to 'adjust' the recipes or anything like that, please tell me if you've had similar experiences and what you did to fix it!

take it back and let them know what it does ... just do an exchange ...if the new one does the same then thats the way they are,...

I have had several different bread machines ...make sure the bake setting is as high as it goes(usually french bread). The thing I currently do is set it on manual and bake the bread in the oven...the house smells better that way and my machine bakes it just fine...make sure you take it out as soon as it is done baking and cool it out of the pan on a rack. That keeps the crust crisp not soggy...
BTW: I just thought of some other issues. My mother HAS to use bread dough because of all the chlorine and flouride in her city water. She also adds gluten to get her bread to rise and cook all the way through. Make sure the water is hot enough but not too hot(should feel hot to the finger put you can put your finger in it.) You have to use sugar because that is what the yeast needs to rise..I do not have to do any of this but I have well water...I have been at this a loooooong time trust me it matters. Good baking.

I'd return it to the store as defective merchandise. It sounds as if the machine isn't generating enough heat to complete the baking process. Inform them that you have used a recipe that accompanied the machine so they don't think that you are trying to bake too large a loaf, using a different recipe. Usually, the manufacturer includes an 800 number, so you might want to call Sunbeam's customer service people. They might have a solution for you. Good luck.

Use the warranty to full advantage, that's what is there for.
My breadmaker (now history) did the same thing. It was great for kneeding (it too broke) and the bread never baked.
I wouldn't buy another one. I'd rather use my hands to make bread.
You are not doing anything wrong.
Are you making sure the ingredients are in the correct order. On my machine it was YEAST first, dry ingredients, and WATER last.
Good luck

regrettably responded, i purchase my bread from the food market and when I infrequently get the prospect for high quality baked breads, I do purchase that as nicely. If I basically knew while i became into youthful what prepared on incredibly stable bread i became into, my cooking course might have been diverse. Oh nicely, such is existence.
