re: Home made bread

Cook, I've been baking homemade bread for about 15 years. Originally learned from my grandmother who still bakes bread to this day at the age of 86! It's a great hobby, and it's something you can experiment with for the rest of your life.
Please tell me which type of bread you are baking, and I'll be happy to help you out with your problem. Is this a simple white bread, a sourdough bread, etc. Also, is this a free formed bread (ie no pan), or is it being baked in a loaf pan?

I also bake a lot of my bread. As TigerDoc said more info is needed but on 1st guess:
1. Are you slashing the top before putting it in the oven?
2. Most important is a steamy oven to keep the dough soft during the oven rise. I keep a pan in the bottom of the oven and pour a cup of hot water in it when I put the bread in. I also spritz the oven with a spray bottle of water.
