what went wrong?

when i was little, my grandmother always used to say "this is where the baker slept!" when we found a big "cave" like this in a bread ... to this day i cant get that image out of my head ...

what went wrong?
i mixed two different kinds of flour. since i don't really know yet how that ancient wheat "purpurweizen" must be treated, i will have to experiment a little more. maybe more water? more time to rise? and definitely more kneading! yes, that's probably it.

what went wrong?

    Abhilfen:
    - Teige fester halten
    - Restbrotzusatz reduzieren
    - Wirkdruck bei der Aufarbeitung erhöhen
    - Wirkfehler vermeiden (weniger Mehl oder Öl verwenden)

  2. Worse when you find a rat sleeping there instead of the baker.
