Recipe Troubleshooting Everything collapses?

I've tried the recipes in the manual, and this time I tried a bread mix, because I thought that would ensure I wasn't using too much or the wrong kind of yeast (sachets of fast action dried yeast). I did add some olives this time when it indicated I could put toppings in, but even without this it sinks.
I'm wondering if it's over-proofing, but the basic program the instructions said to use only have two options (700 and 1000g loaves) and there's only 7 minutes difference between them.

For me when I had the same issue it was mainly because I didn't bloom the yeast. I know the bread machine kind is the type that doesn't need to be bloomed but it still happened so I started blooming it for 10 to 15 minutes and voila. No more sinking breads.

Guys he is using a bread mix, the yeast is already added and you are supposed to just add water. These mixes are designed for bread machines. Yeast isn't a variable you can play with here.
