Not my best bread ever but this is pretty normal issue. I totally over proofed it because I fell asleep during the proof xD
minus-squareChocrates@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·8 months agoWhy does it split at the bottom? The crust is solidifying faster than the gasses can lift. Score deeper or try increasing the humidity in your oven.
