Hi all,

Just wanted to ask for some advice here... All these nice breads shown on this sub-reddit. Unfortunately, mine recently don't turn out like that anymore.

I'm using the Panasonic YR-2550 with automated yeast dispenser. Mainly using Gemini recipes or known ones from the manual.

Now, it almost seems like a problem with the bread machine or the blade.

The flour on the bottom seems like the blade isn't really doing it's job. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Managed to get all the measurements right from memory, feeling very proud of myself. Until 5 hours later i open the lid and instantly realise i forgot one very key ingredient...the water! Flour based sandcastle anyone?

Paddle gash, I don't know what else to call it, the slot left in the bottom of the loaf when we pull the paddle out of it. Several slices of bread are weakened by it, depending where the paddle ends up. Does anyone know how to overcome it? My machine is a Tefal if that makes any difference.

So i had company over while I was making this. At 3 cups of flour I thought I was at 2 and added another cup. This is how it turned out😅 guess I'll be making another one early tomorrow morning
