The last few times I have used my bread machine it has turned out flat. It rises allnice and fluffy and then just before the cook cycle, it gives it a quick mix to knock out the air and then it will not rise properly again. Is that last mix always the case, as it used to be a nice and fluffy loaf, but no more. :-(
What is the problem??

bread machines are def temperamental in the cold weather, I would go with the keeping it somewhere warm suggestion too

Yes, most (if not all) do. When you make bread by hand the dough is left to rise in the bowl and then tipped out and formed into a loaf. This knocks down the dough. The knock down given by breadmakers is equivalent to this. The purpose is to prevent over-rising (which breaks the gluten strands resulting in a 'heavy' loaf) and give a finer crumb to the bread.

I was just wondering, is your cat sleeping next to the vent, (or the vents are blocked, obstructed) this happened to me, and my bread machine didn't work right, until I caught him at it. He was annoyed that I moved the machine so he couldn't snuggle up to it.
