Need question about oster bread maker 5839

Absolutely! I highly recommend King Arthur Flour website for Gluten free recipes. When I am using my Oster for gluten free I have a habit of using the dough cycle instead of the full cycle. After the dough is done I place it into a bread pan (or make rolls, or pizza crust, etc) let it rise again for 45 minutes and then bake it in my oven. When basing gluten free in the Oster I found that it came out either overcooked or under-cooked. (depending on the type of gluten free bread I was making.)

Do you mean the loaf rises ok, then during the cooking cycle collapses?
if so, you will have to alter the mix.
First try using less yeast. Adding a little more salt may also help.

A bread machine that works correctly goes through these basic cycles. If your machine did not do this then it is broken and you need to replace it. The cycles are, Mix.....Rise....Mix......Rise....very short Mix of a few seconds....final rise of over 1/2 hour......bake of approximately one hour......I sell good used machines that will come with a full money back 30 dayguarantee (shipping, everything) You can reach me at [email protected] or my website breadmachineshelp.com

I maintain a database of bread machine manuals. I have checked my files and I do have an electronic copy of your bread machine manual. I charge a small fee for the work that goes into finding, scanning, creating, maintaining and providing them. If you are interested email me at

As a" thank you" I will include an electronic copy of one my bread machine archived recipe books as another attachment to the email.

Be sure to show the maker and model # of your bread machine in the email so I know which one to send. I get many requests and I need to know which machine manual you need.

Thanks, and Happy Baking!

Hi, check the Oster site they do have downloadable manuals:

If it's heating at all, the element is probably good. If it is cooked partway, but not fully, that could be because it isn't rising. Make sure the dough is the right consistency before baking, as a different flour could have a different moisture content, thus requiring a different amount of water. Make sure there is sugar in the dough for the yeast to "eat" or it will not rise. If all else fails, try other yeast. Your can also test the yeast by proofing it. Put a teaspoon of the yeast in a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. It should foam and bubble in 5 minutes or so. You can find more detailed directions on testing the yeast by searching "proofing yeast" on a search engine. Good luck.

Hi, check out these ebay listings:
2 of them for $9.99 + shipping

or 4 of them for $17.99+ shipping

After its mixed the ingredients and before it cooks, it should sit for a while to allow the mix to rise. Check that the heater is on in this period, otherwise, if its cold, it wont rise

The biggest thing is the yeast. If it's even a minute past due then throw it away. Freshest is bestest. Also watch your water temp. not to hot, or too cold. Warm enough to your touch.
And make sure your yeast is in your little well on top.
