Hi Cerie, some bread machine aren't able to brown the top of the loaves if they don't have a top heating element. It might be just be a matter of getting to know your machine and finding the right recipe that will give you the results you're looking for. Consider giving our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE(2253) so we can chat with you further. Kye@KAF
