Submitted by Eli on April 8, 2008 - 10:51pm. Help with Blow OutsAs I am new here I posted my first two loaves of sourdough under the pictures forum the other day. I am not sure where to post this question. My loaf tonight was a boule, my first. I made three pretty slashes, (at the time) and slid it off onto my baking stone. I had a huge blow-out in one of my slashes. Did I not let it rise enough on the final rise or did I slash too deep? Any thoughts, advice? Thanks everyone, you are all great and I am learning so much! I cannot get the pic to load but here is the link!

let proof longer
The picture downloaded. Thanks. Looks like you should let it proof just a little bit longer before putting into the oven. Don't be afraid to slash a little deeper.
Color looks good! I'd say a pretty darn good looking loaf. :)

Mini,
thanks so much! I thought I kinda rushed it into the oven! I will let you know the results of the crumb tomorrow! Stay tuned!

blowouts
I agree--I used to get blowouts a lot, and I concluded that underproofing was the main cause. You might also try misting the loaves a bit before going into the oven (or right afterwards). If the dough dries out a bit and forms a skin during the final proof, it might be more likely to tear rather than expand evenly during that first blast of oven spring.
I know what you mean about rushing it--some days you run out of time and you just need to get it in the oven :) Fortunately even with a blowout it still looks and tastes great--that' s nice loaf there!
