Why is the top of my bread sinking - Cuisinart CBK-200 Bread Maker

Next time follow the same recipe but remove 2 TBSP of liquid from your measuring cup before putting it in the pan

If you have a bread machine recipe book follow it carefully. Look at your owner manual and read the part carefully about how your dough ball should look after about 5 minutes of kneading. If the top is sinking that usually means you need to use a little less liquid.

Sinking in the middle means that there was too much rising for the amount of structure in the bread.
Usual causes:
-too much yeast (reduce 1/2 tsp.)
-too much sugar (reduce 1/2 tsp.)
-not enough salt (increase 1/4 tsp.)
-too much water (reduce 1 tbsp)
Another possible remedy: use "best for bread" flour, it has more gluten, or add gluten separately, 1 tbsp.

Start with reducing amount of water.
