I have tried a few times now to make the loaf bread from Mr Maximo Cabrera course but i still don’t get a good result. my bread is gummy, it stays flat and is very humid ! I followed the recipe to the T and still after a few try can’t do it properly. There’s no video about the loaf bread just the lactal one so i can’t tell where’s my mistake. Can you help me please ?

Hi Lucette Corbière
The issue you’re describing could be related to several factors, including the quality of the flour, the climate, and the baking process. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
1. Flour Quality: If the flour doesn’t have enough protein (gluten), it may not form an adequate structure in the dough, resulting in a flat and gummy bread. If you’re using whole wheat or another type of flour, make sure it’s of good quality. If necessary, try mixing it with bread flour to improve the structure.
2. Climate Humidity: In a humid climate, flour can absorb more moisture from the environment, which may make the dough too wet. If this is the case, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe slightly or add more flour to compensate.
3. Fermentation: Under or over-fermentation can cause issues with the bread’s texture. Make sure the dough is fermenting in a suitable place, not too hot or too cold. If fermentation happens too quickly due to heat, the dough might be over-fermenting, which could also affect the bread’s structure.
4. Kneading: Insufficient kneading can prevent enough gluten from developing, leading to gummy bread. Make sure to knead the dough thoroughly to develop an elastic structure.
5. Shaping the Bread: If the dough isn’t properly shaped before the second fermentation, the bread might not have the right structure to hold up during baking. Ensure that the dough is well-shaped and has surface tension.
If you’ve already considered these factors and the problem persists, it might be helpful to try a different flour to see if that improves the outcome. You could also consider adjusting the recipe proportions to better suit your climate conditions.
We hope this information is helpful.
Best regards.
