Collapse of loaf top
Hi all,
I was following below video;
Italian Herb Bread in the Bread Machine

baking the bread
Ingredients:
(750g loaf)
water (lukewarm) 1 cups 3 tbsps
all purpose flour 356g
milk powder 1 tbsp
sugar 1 tbsp
salt 1 1/2 teaspoons
Parmesan cheese, grated 16g
Oregano 1 tsp
rosemary leaves 1 tsp
yeast 1 tsp
butter 30g
Program setting
French Cycle: (Weight 750g loaf)
Crust color light
Kneading 1 (slow) 3 min
Kneading 2 (rapid) 30 min
Rise 1 32 min
Kneading 3 (rapid) 15 sec
Rise 2 30 min
Kneading 4 (rapid) 15 sec
Rise 3 55 min
Baking 53 min
Total time 3:23 hrs
The texture of the bread is nice but the top of the loaf collapsed. 27 min before the end of baking the top was perfect without collapse, viewed through the viewing window.
What is the cause of the collapse? Any remedy? Thanks
