Default dreaded collapsed bread syndrome

Hi, all,\r\nI have a new Sunbeam 5891 breadmaker. I've made two loaves of white cinnamon bread on the ExpressBake cycle (1 hr) and three loaves of whole wheat. The Expessbake bread was fine, but all the whole wheat loaves have collapsed dramatically in the centre with about 40 minutes left in the cycle.\r\nThe first w.w. loaf was exactly according to their recipe book; I tweaked the 2nd one to make it drier, and for the 3rd loaf I used my old tried and true bread machine recipe, definitely not a wet loaf. The dough seemed perfect, not too dry, not too wet. Fresh ingredients. \r\n\r\nSunbeam's consumer help line can't think of anything I'm doing wrong. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, did you solve it?!\r\nThanks for any comments!\r\nJean

Default Gluten

I was having trouble and started adding Vital Wheat Gluten, found neat the flour on the shelf. I make mostly sandwich loaves and add 4 1/2 teaspoons for a 1 1/2 pound loaf. I'd try 1 tablespoon for other breads.
I am living at high altitude now and I don't know if that has made a difference.

I have been having the exact same problem!
I see your post is rather old, was it ever resolved, and how?
