Yep. i reached the same conclusion. The heat is too focused in the bread machines. I only screwed up about ten times trying to understand when was the best time to remove the dough and then what to do next. Looks to me like you have it down, congratulations.
I made french bread. It was hollow. My Wife laughed at me looking down the tube.
