  This video was so helpful! I didn't know you could open the bread machine and add water or flour to the dough. And I didn't know I could pause the machine, remove the paddle and shape the dough after the last stir. I just found your channel recently and have found it very helpful and informative.  Thank you so much!

  I like your suggestion that you made in another video to restart the machine after making adjustments.

  Thank you for all of the great information.  I have the KBS bread machine. It took a couple of tries but I finally made a beautiful loaf of bread. I appreciate your videos so much!

  Wow! Thank you so much for making this video. I make my own flour from wheat berries and  when I follow the recipes I have my bread was either too dense, did not up fill it back to front or height wise to the top. I tried adding gluten to get it to rise more and still had difficulty. I too did not know about opening it up to check the consistency of the dough. Everything made sense so I thought I’d give it a try. I keep a journal on my bread making attempts and I chose one I did previously that did not rise or fill out to the ends completely. Sure enough the dough did not have enough liquid so I put 2 more tbsp in it and it was too much so I added another tbsp of flour, got it to the right consistency, and restarted it to give it more time to knead . The result was perfect. I am so excited to try more of my recipes that did not work!

  I just want to share.\n That if the bread machine is uneven . The dough ball tends to go to one side. And it needs crooked. My floor is not &nbsp;even , but now that the machine is level works &nbsp;great
