  So basically you need to experiment till you find the sweet spot. &nbsp;The instructions that came with mine uses terms like big spoon and little spoon, LOL.

  I can’t find any bread flour with 13% protein? Is there a certain brand? Or I seen in one of your other videos that you added vital wheat gluten, is that something I should do with lower protein bread flour?

  Can you address bread mixes like Augusan Farms? Thank you!

  I have a theory. I use all purpose flour, which you say lacks protein for the structure… which is probably true in this case since the bread machine produces a loaf of bread about 8 inches high (before fall), so I think the bread machine design is prone to fall.<br>I have my grandmas bread recipe which calls for 20 cups of flour and makes about 7-8 small loaves (not the 5x9 inch loaf pans which are huge in my opinion), but we never had a problem with rise and fall.

  Solo en verano el pan se me hunde, entiendo que es por fermentación excesiva, bajaré la cantidad de levadura entonces... gracias 😊❤

  I followed someone else&apos;s recipe with 2 tsp of yeast. I used rapid rise instant fast acting. Looked good promising then sunk big time like a crater. Disappointing. &nbsp;Also i was using an older Oster bread machine. This is 2nd time its happened. And i used the recipe book it came with before that and same thing happened. &nbsp;And i had used 2 tsp of the rapid rise yeast. Maybe next time only 1 ½ tsp.
