Can I use gluten-free flour?

What kind of water should I use?

Troubleshooting

Bread isn't rising properly.

Check the expiration date of your yeast. Ensure you've added the correct amount of yeast and that the water temperature is appropriate for activating the yeast. Try a different bread recipe.

Bread is too dense.

Ensure you're using the correct amount of flour. Avoid opening the lid during baking, as this can affect the rise. Make sure the ingredients are measured accurately.

Kneading blade is difficult to remove.

Use the hook provided to remove the kneading blade after the bread has cooled. Sometimes it can be loosened when the pan is turned upside down and tapped.
