Troubleshooting a Sandwich Bread Recipe
Two problems with my first sandwich bread🍞 I could use help with:
-
The top is separating from the rest of the loaf. I believe this is from over-proofing?
-
The loaf is shaped from a rectangle rolled into a log. As you can see in the picture, there is evident separation of the layers from the shaping. If I try to tear a slice of the bread, it separates along those circular lines, which doesn’t seem right. Is this also from over-proofing?
And could this be from over-rising the first rise? Because that one I find hard to judge (doubling), but the second is measured by how the loaf rises above the rim of the pan, which I am much more sure of.
