Sticky loaves
I am new to bread making. Made several hearth and loaf pan loaves with good success. The last few loaves I have baked came out sticky. The knife was gummed up with the bread. The bread looked done, but was sticky and gummy. I didn't change anything I am aware of (temperature, bake time, recipe, batch of flour). I am looking for ideas of what I might be doing wrong. Is the change of weather a factor? My first loaves were made in the summer, and it is now getting a little cooler here in the Indianapolis area. Thanks to all, in advance.
