Don't throw out that deflated loaf! It will make fine breadcrumbs or cubes, which will keep nicely in the freezer until a recipe calls for them.
I haven't had this particular problem (recently) but often have loaves with sliding or cockeyed tops. Suggestions for that malady?
And thanks to all the people at KAF who make our lives more fun and satisfying.
