I have my bread machine for a few years already (a panasonic). In the beginning my bread only turned out about half the time, so I switched my order of putting in ingredients and began putting in the liquids first. Since then I b"h have never had a problem, and I make bread or dough daily. I finally decided to experiment with some of the other recipes that the book comes with, such as olive oregano bread and italian bread, and every recipe I try FLOPS!! Anyone know why or have some advice for me??

What specifically is the problem--too dry, wet in the middle, flat, etc? Give us more specifics and we'll put on our Sherlock Holmes sheitels!

Not sure. It didn't even rise, possibly didn't mix well? When I opened the machine there was a flat slab of bread.

how old is your yeast?
how hot is the water you're adding?

all bread machine recipes tell you to put the liquid in first, then cover it completly with dry ingredient, make a welt in the middle and put in yeast!

Hmm, the yeast is pretty new, and it works with my regular bread recipe so I don't think that's the prob. The water is room temp. Shoy, I never heard of that method, perhaps I'll try it and see what happens. Is it no-fail??....

Is the machine heating properly? Are you replacing white flour in the recipe with whole wheat?

don't let the yeast touch the liquids or salt! I always add the liquids, salt and sugar, then the flour and the yeast of top.
if you aren't sure if your yeast is good, put it in some warmish water with sugar and let it sit. if it doesn't bubble in 10 minutes then it may be dead & you need more yeast.
