Sinking
Why do all my loaves sink in the middle? I've started taking them to the dough point and finishing in my oven but it would be so much easier to do the whole thing in my bread machine. Have to cut a big chunk off the top of my bread that hasn't risen. I've tried lots of different recipes and all end up the same.
This particular loaf was using waitrose strong wholemeal flour with olive oil, yeast, milk and sugar.
If I just use the machine to make a dough and then finish in the oven it turns out fine.
Edit to add recipe:
3 3/4 cup whole wheat bread flour
7g yeast
3/4 cup of lukewarm water
3/4 cup of lukewarm milk
3 tbsp olive oil
salt
2 tbsp sugar
I put all the wet ingredients first then the flour, sugar, salt and lastly yeast. it was on the whole wheat cycle which took 4 hours in total. I used a light colour setting.
