I just got home to two way over-proofed Whole Wheat loaves from the BBA. I was hoping to add some flour and water to revive it, but reading back over the recipe, it seems more complicated since the wet ingredients were honey, veg. oil and egg. Can I save it or is it bound for the garbage?
Thank you!

Re: overproofed loaves
I would deflate the dough and reshape the loaves. Let them rise again, but be careful not to let them rise too high. Bake and hope for the best. Sometimes it works okay, and sometimes not so well. It all depends on how strong the gluten still is. Good luck!
Second for the Punch Down
I second SourdoLady. There's still lots of food for the yeast to double again. It might even turn out to be slightly tastier than usual.

I hope it turned out all right
Please keep us posted.
punched down!
You were right! I punched it down and reshaped the loaves, it rose up again! Maybe didn't rise as much, but tastes great!
Thanks for your help!
