Well, technically you've overmeasured something -- either yeast,
flour, liquid, or sweetener. Or the recipe you've used calls for too
much of one of the above. Fallen crowns on loaves indicates
overrising. So, try cutting the yeast or the sugar down a little bit,
and see what happens. Experiment with it until you get it right, or
try another recipe.
Bread machines may not be perfect, but they sure beat kneading when
your carpal tunnel prevents you!
