Hi, When I put my beautifully risen buns into the oven they fell flat . What did I do???
Gina, you simply let them rise a bit too long. Once they hit the oven heat and the yeast went crazy for a few minutes, it blew them up very quickly, and since they were already fully risen, they collapsed. Better to put your buns in when they're not totally, beautifully puffy, OK? Understand that they're going to rise quite a bit in the oven, so it's OK to put them in when they don't look as big as you'd like them - because they WILL get bigger as they bake. Hope they were still tasty - you can always make croutons out of them.. :) PJH
