Somebody baking buns.

Shai-Hulud!

Overproofed, I suspect. Overproofed bread also tends to be a bit pale as in photo.

Because the over-proofed bread had risen so much before it hit the oven's heat, there was no more capacity for additional expansion in the oven. It rose; it fell; it collapsed. Still tastes good, but not a pretty picture.

Its your bread, you can do whatever you want with it. But i don't think you're supposed to fuck the bread.

The recipe said to fill with seeds for added texture

Next time sift the collapsing star out of the flour bin. The event horizon really slows the proofing down as it sucks the yeast in.

I was gonna ask if it was sour dough.

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Old yeast?

Had a couple loaves do that because the yeast was old and only had enough oomph to do the first proof.

If you store yeast in the freezer it should last significantly longer without going off. I’ve got 5 year old yeast that still performs when I want it to.

I buy the jars instead of the packets and have started refrigerating them. May go ahead and start putting the extras in the freezer. Nice tip.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in jars here! We just have either the little packets or a big, flour sack kind of bag to buy it in. Jars sound nice because they’ll keep the moisture out much better.

Now I'm just imagining the scene from Young Frankenstein, but with yeast.

Looks like over-proofing to me. Letting the dough rest for too long weakens the gluten and the dough deflates.

I should call her

You must be crustfallen

Instead of dessicant powder, next time they could try adding yeast.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But it said "do not eat" on the packet and I'm a rebel.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

You've created a Fleshloaf

Not gonna lie. I would but-fuck that loaf.

This is when I just cut the top off and eat it and the rest of the loaf just looks fine usually.

Smaller loaf, sure... But delicious nontheless

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

It licked a lemon

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

Mmm... Butthole loaf. 🤤

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

You did it, didn't you?

[–] maus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Nice butthole. Can we get a picture of the bread?

[–] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

So this is was a big ass bread looks like...

[–] realitista@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago

Looks like it's got a bad case of pucker.
