PJ I made the King Arthur whole wheat bread recipe in my bread maker and here is how the top came out. I looked at my dough after kneading for ten minutes and the dough was lumpy and not smooth. So I kept adding water a little at a time until I had added 1/8th cup. I was afraid to add more so I just left it. It never did get unlumpy though. Did too little liquid cause the top to cave in like this? Well it would not allow me to paste a picture but the top caved in about 2” or so.
