Hi to all I am a new to the forum and have a bit of a problem with my sourdough bread. I have made the bread in a bread machine including the baking, baked in an oven (gas) and also baked in a Remoska. The problem is in both the bread machine and the oven even though the dough has risen when starting to bake the dough starts to collapse and I cannot understand the reason.

Sorry if this has been covered on another part of the forum.

Pete

Hello onepotpete,

It's a bit hard to be specific without more detail.  In particular, the recipe you are using and the timing of your preparation and baking.  I don't know too much about bread machines but does yours have a long enough cycle to allow for the extended fermenting and proving times necessary for sourdough?

One possibility, sight unseen, is that the hydration of the dough is too high.  Another is that the dough has been overproved.

Sorry about the vagueness but it is the best I can do at the moment.
