Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each of the reasons listed can contribute to dough spilling over the sides of the bread pan during baking. A low initial temperature can slow the setting of the dough structure, allowing it to expand too much. Improper congealment of protein affects the dough's ability to hold its shape. Continued fermentation of yeast during baking can cause excessive gas production, leading to overflow. Overfermentation prior to baking means the dough has already expanded too much before it even enters the oven, increasing the risk of spillover.
