If your sourdough is coming out flat, dense, or gummy inside—this is a classic sign of under-fermentation. It means your dough didn’t spend enough time during bulk fermentation. That stretch of time on the counter is everything for good bread. This loaf? It needed at least 2–3 more hours of bulk fermentation before shaping. Next time, look for these signs before moving on: ✨ Dough has doubled in size ✨ Domed top with visible bubbles ✨ Feels light and airy like a marshmallow Give your dough the t

5 Reasons for Gummy, Dense Sourdough Bread 1️⃣ Weak Starter: If your starter isn’t strong enough, your dough won’t ferment properly 2️⃣ Under Fermented Dough: Bulk fermentation was cut short 3️⃣ Under Baking: Internal temp. of bread should be 205-210 4️⃣ Hydration Level: Experiment with lower hydration 5️⃣ Cutting Loaf too Soon: Steam trapped inside = gummy texture Fixing just one of these things can make a huge difference! #sourdough #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughstarter #sourdough

If your sourdough has large air pockets near the top but feels sticky or gummy in the middle, here’s what your loaf is telling you 👇🏻 This usually means: • uneven fermentation • dough rose quickly at first • gluten didn’t fully strengthen through the center Common causes: ✔ starter slightly too young or too strong ✔ bulk fermentation too short ✔ dough baked before structure was fully developed How to fix it: • let bulk go a little longer • watch dough strength, not the clock • make sure dough

Struggling with gummy dense sourdough? Let’s Fix It! When I asked what you guys struggle with most, so many of you said bulk fermentation- and I get it! One of the biggest issues? Under-fermentation. If your dough is showing these signs, it probably needs more time: ❌ No bubbles ❌ Not jiggly ❌ Dense, small, gummy, or heavy bread There’s no exact time because fermentation depends on your dough temperature. Here’s a rough guide to help: Dough temp vs. bulk ferment time 🌡 80°F → ~5-6 hours 🌡 75°F

A sourdough can look perfect on the outside — golden crust, incredible aroma — yet hide a dense, gummy crumb inside. The problem isn’t the flour or the starter. It’s usually one of three simple mistakes: 1️⃣ Too short proof If the dough doesn’t ferment long enough, it can’t build enough air. 👉 The bread stays compact and heavy. 💡 Tip: Give the dough enough time to develop! 2️⃣ Not fully baked through A crispy crust on the outside doesn’t mean it’s done inside. 👉 A dense, wet crumb often means

If you’ve been struggling with gummy sourdough, there’s a few culprits that could be responsible. And the most likely cause probably isn’t what you think. Many bakers assume a gummy crumb automatically means underbaked bread. While that can occasionally be the case, a gummy crumb is most commonly due to under-proofing, rather than a temperature issue. Other reasons can include improper hydration, under development, and sometimes improper bake times or temperatures. Check out our previous video o
