Big air pocket in my sourdough loaf.

Profile picture for user wristen

Hi all, I am having an issue with my sourdough lately.I am hoping someone can give me some advice on how to fix the problem. I am getting a huge air pocket in my loafs, it is from the top crust down to the middle 

any help would be great.

Thanks, wristen

Sounds like a shaping issue wristen. Make sure you gently pat out (With a flat palm) the excess gas pockets in the dough immediately before final shaping.

Happy baking,

Brian
