Details

Can you give some more details about what type of bread your baking? Yeast, sourdough? Proofed in bannetons, bread pans, free shaped?

It sounds like your bread is over-proofed before you put it in the oven, but the experiences bread-makers here would need more details to be able to give you some advice. But with their help, you'll definitely get on the right track!

Cheers,

Jane 

 

My problem when loaf was falling

Was due to temperature variations. I proofed in a warm oven then brought out into a cool environment. After slashing, in the oven it went and it deflated even before it got to bake. I fixed that by making sure my final rise temperature was very close to the room temperature.
