It sounds like you made a super puffy Almond Puff Loaf, Tod, which is a fantastic "problem" to have. However, if you'd like your loaves to sink a bit and look more like the recipe photo, try removing them from the oven about 3 to 5 minutes sooner next time. This will ensure the top layer of pastry is still soft and malleable, and it should sink slightly once it comes out of the oven. Good luck, and happy baking! Kye@KAF
