It seems that the little paddle that turns the dough makes a hole in the
bread when you pull the bread out. At first I thought it was my machine, but
after buying another one at a garage sale (for $1) the "new" one does the
same thing. Not that the bread tastes any different, but when you go to cut
a slice there is a hole in it.Can this problem be eliminated?

Thanks

You can remove the bread once it's kneaded and bake it in a bread pan.

Bake a second loaf in the oven that is the same size as the paddle and
insert it into the hole.

Actually quite simple; promptly after the final knead remove the dough, then
remove the paddle (it's usefulness is now concluded)... now promptly return the
dough for it's final rise. Naturally this won't work well on delayed mode...
because you will need to be present for removal of the paddle.

Sonofagun! Sheldon, I'm indebted to you for pointing out something the rest
of us idiots (or this one at least) never thought of.

Following this procedure, you will still end up with the shaft hole.
That is, the big hole from the paddle will be taken care of, but the
shaft will still protrude into the pan. Nevertheless, these holes only
occur in one or two places in the loaf, maybe one-half to three-quarters
up from the bottom of the loaf, so how much of a problem could this be?

That is a great idea removing the paddle. I have a bread machine and use it
often. Love to make bread for many things. The hole never bothered me, but
I'm going to try your suggestion for this next time.

Actually quite simple; promptly after the final knead remove the dough, then
remove the paddle (it's usefulness is now concluded)... now promptly return the
dough for it's final rise. Naturally this won't work well on delayed mode...
because you will need to be present for removal of the paddle.
