Hitachi HB-B201 Bread Not Rising

I have a Hitachi HB-B201. Off and on for the past 14 years, I have had almost zero positive luck in making bread that will rise. I have tried many differing approaches; altering the ingredients slightly this way then that, and then a lot this way and then that, and then all directions, and almost invariably, I will turn out a jolly-green-giant sized crouton.

The breads have been tasty (except for those where I eventually tripled or quadrupled the yeast). I don't ever have to worry about crushing the bread when cutting it with a dull knife; either side of the blade. Storage is no problem. It doesn't seem to carry any charm for a passing rodent. The instruction booklet says nothing about the weaponization of bread flour; so I'm guessing that I'm doing something wrong.

If anyone has any "helpful" suggestions, I would love to hear it.
