The best answer is that it probably does come down to the recipe. In winter time though I find that I often have to add a little extra water to compensate for the lack of humidity in the air. Overproofing is another way of making very crumby bread, so you may want to double check that that's not happening. Other than that, just practice, practice, practice.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017959421018964001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-24945202578298448702009-03-02T21:45:00.000-05:002009-03-02T21:45:00.000-05:00Any hints on how to make bread less crumbly or is ...Any hints on how to make bread less crumbly or is it all in the recipe?

If you are farming organically, eating organically, get rid of the plastics in the kitchen, especially those that would come in contact with foods and drinks!LynnShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400123476915540411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-28788089376368849692009-02-20T11:03:00.000-05:002009-02-20T11:03:00.000-05:00Great suggestions at that site, Louisa.
