Apropos of nothing urgent

Breadmaker half whole-wheat bread seems to come out somewhat differently from batch to batch, with the same ingredients from the same bag/bottle/can. Last time's batch was dark and hard-crusted and tasted of molasses (which I use instead of honey), and this time's was light without that molasses taste. KitchenPro. I wonder if maybe the different cook settings are getting confused.

Something to do with the viscosity of the molasses? When I made similar breads by hand, I dissolved the molasses in warm water and added yeast before adding the water/molasses/yeast mixture to the flour.

Maybe the dregs of the molasses jar layer out differently. I tried dissolving it first when making today's batch.
