Cracked Wheat Loaf
Yesterday I made Rose Beranbaum's Cracked Wheat Bread, everything went well until I slashed the risen loaf, which promptly subsided to half the size. I baked it and now I have another paving brick. What can I do to prevent this happening again.

Next time you make this bread slash the loaf before the final proof. You degassed the loaf when it fell the last time.
Sounds like it was over-proofed. Try docking it earlier.
