Hi Taylor, it sounds like your dough may have been a little overproofed (risen too high in the pan) before baking, or perhaps a  little overbaked. Dough that has risen too high in th pan can sometimes be excessively airy, which can cause the baked bread to be drier and fall apart more easily. If the bread turned out a little darker than usual, this can also contribute to a drier, more crumbly loaf. For more help troubleshooting this recipe, please don't hesitate to call our Baker's Hotline at 855-371-BAKE (2253). We're here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST.
