Why are the sides of my baked bread loaf imploding?

[larry_stewart]

Yes, I always use a thermometer. Even with the pullman loaf pan.

"cooling in the pan was in order to give the bread (sides) time to firm up" - just to further clarify what I mean, the whole loaf is sort of being supported by the dome of the loaf on the edge of the pan while it cools enough to support itself.

Also perhaps it was in a draft? Or very cool/cold in your kitchen? Looking again at your middle picture the top seems a bit 'wrinkled' as in shrinking or collapsing as well. Could just be the picture - even though a picture is worth a thousand words they can also be very deceiving! LOL

Could have been cold in the kitchen. I'm too old to remember lol
I'll try cooling hit next time, and maybe let it bake a few more minutes.
I really liked the consistency of the past time, but I am curious as to what caused the deformation and how I can correct it. If the consistency changes ( for the worse ) as a result, ill just get used to eating warped bread.

Was this the first time you used the low carb flour?

Close your eyes while you eat. It should taste the same - mind over matter.

The flour itself was just whole wheat. The low carb aspect was adding some vital wheat gluten and Psyllium husk to make it not %100 flour based. The Whole wheat flour itself I've used several times when making homemade Pita bread.
