Baking bread - wet like cake

[padgett]

I just baked my first loaf.

It's risen but is wet and a bit sponge-esque.... (new word).

Any ideas what was wrong? More flour or yeast?

You didn't let it rise for long enough.

[grumbledoak]

Sounds like too much water or too little cooking time, though it's difficult to say with knowing your recipe.

[pixel chick]

Too much fluid or too much yeast I think

[uncinqsix]

You possibly didn't bake it for long enough. Dough might have been a bit wet too.

How much flour & water did you use?

[mrsxllifts]

sounds like to much liquid. If your using a bread maker, you can add more flour during the first kneading stage. Add a little bit at a time until it become quite a firm not sticky ball.
