I share my failures so that you may learn from them:
Yes. There is parchment stuck in it. I know.
I've been turning out nice symmetrical, loaf-shaped loaves for a few months now, and then this^^^happens.
What went wrong? I left it rising for too long. Totally forgot about it all day long. It looked nice and tall, though, and I thought 'No harm done! I can just stick this in the oven!" and so I did; and the instant it went in it must have started to deflate.
What I should have done:
1.PAID ATTENTION TO THE TIME
2. Barring that, given the dough another quick kneading and let it rise in the pan again - then baked it.
Now here is a tall loaf done correctly, all smiling and happy in the oven.
...so you see, I am capable of doing it right.
Ignore the dirty oven. IGNORE IT.
I'll say it again: making bread is about feel. Accept the learning process and aim toward GREATNESS!!
After all, even your worst failures can be turned into bread pudding, croutons, and crumbs.
