I will let the video speak for itself here... Touch too much yeast I think.

I tend to use a bread maker we got off freecycle and asides the blade getting stuck in the loaf and it being a pain to get out of the pan it's a pretty perfect loaf.
How many times did you prove it?
Looking at your loaf it hasn't got enough air so....
Not enough yeast or
Proving space not warm enough or not proved long enough or
Wrong type of flour (if you use ordinary self-raising/plain flour it doesn't have enough gluten to support it'self and so collapses) or
Nothing to feed the yeast. Did you put some oil or sugar in the dough ? If not the yeast will use the gluten leading to the above problem.
That was the first time I ever used dried yeast instead of live yeast to do bread and the first time I ended up with it looking like Wilma Flintstone had helped me make it.
I did some today and it didn't need a saw, which is a great improvement... I guess it was worth messing it up that one time just to see my dad crying with laughter in Costa when I showed him the video
