The basic white bread comes out high on right side of pan and lower on the left side, the loaf also is light on top and much darker on bottom and sides.I am weighing ingredients in grams on a new Cuisinart kitchen scale - same problem.
SOURCE: Top of load doesn't bake completely
Put a tent of foil over top of machine It will reflect the heat and brown more.
SOURCE: Bread is dense and lopsided.
Hi Dan B,
Sorry about your bread problems. It is depressing to me to find an unsatisfactory result after going through the whole baking rigamarole. I had a similar problem early on, but I live in the Denver area, so I was also dealing with the high altitude problems, too. I started using Vital Wheat Gluten in all my bread recipes, and it helped a lot. I use a tablespoon per cup of flour, but you may want to start with a half tablespoon. I also put the salt in with the liquid ingredients, because you're not supposed to let salt touch the yeast. I also make sure to use non-iodized salt, because the iodizing stuff does bad things to the yeast. The final thing I always do is to set the timer for 10 minutes after it starts the knead cycle, and then I open the lid and touch the dough to see if it is too wet (add flour by tablespoons) or too dry (add water by tablespoons), until it feels and looks right to me. You are probably already doing most of these things already, but I thought I'd mention them just in case. Anyway, hope one of these things helps. Happy Baking!

How To Make Bread (without a bread machine)
Step 1 What you'll need
You will need:
Yeast - 2 Tbsp
Hot-ish* water - 2 cups
Bread flour - 5 cups total, 2 for the sponge and 3 for later. (NOT regular flour)
Sugar - 2 Tbsp.
Salt - 2 tsp.
Oil - 2 Tbsp.
3 loaf pans
Quick-read thermometer
Oven pre-heated to 375
*Hot-ish means betw…
Step 2. Make the sponge
This
recipe uses what I call a "sponge." The sponge will activate the yeast
and get things started; getting the yeast warm, happy, and ready to go
Start by mixing the hot water and the flour. Then, add 2 Tbsp. sugar, 2
Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. yeast, and 2 tsp. salt. Let this sit for about 8 or
10 m…Step 3. Add some flour and knead it
Now
you need to add about 3 more cups of flour. I added a little less this
time, it really depends on the humidity and how exact your measurements
were in the sponge step.
Once it gets too tough to stir, flip it onto a clean floured surface.
Now, knead away, adding flour as you do so. Knead th…Step 4. Let it rise...
let
the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes to an hour. the
dough should be about doubled in size by the time it's finished.
Step 5. Into the pans
Punch
the dough down (Yes, punch it. Beat the heck out of it. Just don't make
a mess), then divide it into 3 parts. Spray the pans and put the dough
in. Let it rise again in the pans (covered) util it looks like the
second picture.
Step 6. Into the oven
Preheat
your oven to 375 F and put the loaves in.
Bake them for about 25 minutes. Your quick read thermometer should read
between 180 and 190 degrees. Pull the loaves out and place them on
their sides on a rack, after a few seconds slide them out of the pans
and onto the rack. Let them cool.Step 7 Eat!
Eat
it! Share it! etc.!
You can do a lot with this recipe...
...You can add nuts, roll it out and add cinnamon and raisins for
cinnamon-swirl bread, add your favorite spices, etc. Add sweet
potatoes, chunks of cheese, pieces of ham, or whatever suites you.
Also, here can find few recipes about making bread recipes
Hope this helped.

OMG, this just happened to me as well. It was trying to knee our Third loaf since buying it.
Glad to se it is not just us!

use 1 or 2 tablespoons less liquid. Start with 1 spoon less and go down from there.
Hello....I wrote this for those with bread pan problems....be sure to read the part about how to restore the "spring" of your bread pan clips...
Bread pan removal:
I am assuming you have the type of bread machine that has
the little metal spring clips inside the oven compartment. Before inserting the pan always check on the
bottom of the pan (underneath) to see how the impeller "T" is aligned and turn
it with your fingers or turne the paddle with your fingers so the "T" will fit
into the gaps of the impeller in the bottom of the oven. Once you have aligned them then place the
pan in the oven and "pop" push the pan in place so the spring clips grab the
matching clips on the sides of the pan.
Also look to see if your pan has the word "front" stenciled in the lip
edge of the pan. If so, be sure that edge is towards the front of
the machine. If your pan still won't pop into place when you
push down your spring clips may need to be gently pulled out because they can
become "slack" over time. Take the pan
out and reach in and pull each spring clip up until you start to feel it bend a
little and bend them out. Pop your pan into place and if the clips don's start
to grab your pan repeat the process of bending the clips out and repeat that
until they do. Summary:
1)
make sure if your pan is marked "front" that it is aligned
properly
2)
make sure the paddle and the T underneath the pan aren't in
conflict with the matching drive impeller in the bottom of the oven. Just turn the paddle so they are opposite of
each other and can engage
3)
Restore the "springiness" to your clips by bending them out
with your fingers. Be careful though because the spring edges are fine edges so
get underneath them when you pull up
