I'm not much of a baker, but I can usually manage a simple loaf using a packet mix. Until recently, that is. For weeks now, every loaf I make goes floppy on the top, like this:
Previously, they would turn out taut and nicely rounded, like this:
It's nothing to do with the mix - I've tried making one from scratch and it still comes out the same, so it must be something I'm doing differently. It's as though I have let it rise too much before baking, but I haven't. Could any of the proper bakers on here offer any advice?
