Care for some...um...vortex bread?

After our first bread-machine disaster (read about it here), we gave it a few days then decided to try again.

This time, Daughter added no additional water and again followed the instructions precisely. Everything appeared to be going very well until the final 30 minutes or so, when an unusual-looking vortex began to form in the top of the bread.

Unfortunately, we had no idea how to fix the problem at that point, so we let the loaf finish baking and then removed it from the bread machine. In spite of its odd appearance, the bread was completely done and actually tasted quite good.


Just a bit difficult to butter, that's all.

Have you called the company that made the bread machine? Maybe the machine is defective. I like KarenSue's idea of filling it with honey and strawberries. You would have the most popular stand at the fair. :)

That is a very interesting loaf...looks like a giant muppet mouth..among other things!!! I think you could just pour butter into it...
