We were stumped as to what was causing it to sink.Bargain Hunting Treasure Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357232422400947985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849034343139627779.post-83234070610786730952010-09-13T23:34:14.783-05:002010-09-13T23:34:14.783-05:00i was just reading some of your older posts and sa...i was just reading some of your older posts and saw this -- we used to use a bread machine for our bread, and sometimes i had this problem if i used the full length cycle. does your machine have a "quick" cycle? if so, have you tried it? sometimes if the yeast rises too much before the bread bakes the loaf will collapse. that being said, heavier flours can be tricky to work with.cindy louhttp://amemorytomake.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849034343139627779.post-16863906481133055012010-09-09T17:14:19.487-05:002010-09-09T17:14:19.487-05:00He's going to try a loaf with store bought flo...He's going to try a loaf with store bought flour and see if it is the wheat. I don't think it is too fine, it looks really "chunky" to me-like maybe it should be ground again! :)Bargain Hunting Treasure Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357232422400947985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849034343139627779.post-87924281897843744792010-09-08T22:51:22.359-05:002010-09-08T22:51:22.359-05:00I agree with Mitzi -- I think it's the wheat. ...I agree with Mitzi -- I think it's the wheat. It's possible that it's been ground too fine. I remember my grandmother (an OUTSTANDING baker) having the same trouble with cakes collapsing in the middle. She finally figured out that my mother had switched and bought pre-sifted flour and then my grandmother was sifting it again, as was her habit. The flour was too fine. Once she stopped re-sifting the pre-sifted flour, the cakes came out great.Anne@Kitschy Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712937651022641233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849034343139627779.post-40630826254577526472010-09-08T18:48:38.591-05:002010-09-08T18:48:38.591-05:00My recommendation would be to try a loaf with your...My recommendation would be to try a loaf with your yeast and just the store bought flour. I have a feeling it's the wheat, not the yeast. that is causing the dough to be too heavy. I used to bake my own bread years ago, but didn't grind wheat. So I'm only partially qualified to answer your question......Mitzi Curihttp://mitziscollectibles.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
