My Bread Machine Failed Me!

I used a recipe from the instruction manual for cracked wheat bread. Apparently, the machine wasn't big enough... the top stuck on the inside of the lid. What a mess!
I don't get it. I followed the recipe. The machine has a 2 lb. loaf setting. And the instruction manual doesn't have a troubleshooting guide.
And, now I have no bread in the house. Nuts!
