the past 3 loaves I have made, using my 8yr old recipe, and the bread rises too high and i have to scoop some out before it is finished cooking. any ideas why this is happening.never happened before.

Are you using a new jar of yeast!

korbo, May 23, 7:11am
no, the jar is almost expired, but i have always kept it in the fridge.
really bugging me, as i like a nice crusty top.

Reduce the water a little.I find that if the dough is very soft, it rises more.

ahhuh. gardie, maybe that is the answer. i thought this morning i had gone over my 300mls. will try again on friday.

from experience still reckon it is the water temp had the same problem but with having the water just warm no problem
