SW111 wrote I bought a Pullman pan for baking sandwich bread. It comes with a lid and makes square loaves. This is Honey-oat from the King Arthur website. I’ve got to figure out why the crumb is denser at the bottom.
Looks great!
Lots of variables in bread baking. Try one of these changes at a time:
1. less dough weight in the pan
2. less water in the dough recipe
3. longer proofing time
4. higher oven temperature
5. longer baking time
Bread recipes are merely suggestions. There is significant variation in ovens, ambient conditions (temperature and humidity of the kitchen), method (timing, accuracy of measurement), and ingredients (yeast, salt quantity, flour gluten and humidity).
The net result of these input variations is a significant variation in the finished baked product.
thefreshloaf is a good baking forum. Lots of experience on that site. The UI is old and clunky.
