I have been making this bread for a few months. Sometimes it turns out perfect and other times there is a horizontal hole just under the crust in the center of a slice. Sometimes the hole is an inch long. It seems to happen more if it doesn't rise too quickly but that isn't always the case. I'm at a loss to determine why this happens since isn't consistent. Sometimes it's through only 3 or 4 slices and sometimes it affects the majority of the loaf. We really like the bread but hole is very annoying. Thanks for the help.
