Try adding 2 Tablespoons or more gluten (from health store or baking aisle of grocery store) to the recipe. I have used this and while it doesn't work as well as I would like, it does help. I have not tried increasing the gluten and I do use bread flour.

You don't have enough liquid or the proper oil in it. Using light or whipped margarine/butter is not all product, but water too. I use light olive oil only and for recipes that call for powdered milk and water, I always use fresh milk. It makes a difference in the texture of the bread greatly!

Do you use cane sugar or beet? Beet sugar will make things coarser when baking, try cane sugar in your recipe.
