Hello, I do bread machines and have for a loooooong time (plus artisan).
Just finished a pizza dough taken out of the bread machine -- Yeah, I'm
experienced.
Here's an answer that's probably likely to insult, and it's sorta like --
did you plug in the machine -- but, wait, that's not it.

Push Start, THEN select your selection, "Basic, Wheat, Dough, French, or
whatever."

If this is not the problem -- then there IS a problem.
