1. 1

   When I prepare dough using the proportions below, it tastes wonderful and the dough expands--but it expands sideways. I get perfect texture but instead of hemispheres I get broad loaves only 1-1/2 high. The dough cannot support its own weight. If I add more flour to make the dough less dense, then the dough is insufficiently elastic to expand, so that it bakes into bread that is excessively dense. I could throw in more yeast and/or sugar to try go make more bubbles but making inelastic dough expand would require not greater quantities of CO2 but higher pressures.
