Answer 1

add a 1/2 pinch of salt to the dough.your at a different elevation and yeast rises easier.a very little salt should slow it down.

Answer 2

It sounds like the bread is rising too much.  Cut back on the yeast.

Answer 3

OVERRISES AND THEN SINKS

Too much leavning action

1.Decrease liquid

2.Decrease sugar by 50%

3.Decrease yeast by 25%

4.Increase fat by 50%

TOO DENSE

Inadequate gluten structure or insufficient leavening

1.Add wheat gluten(1-1/2 teaspoons per cup whole-grain flour)

2.Substitute bread flour for some of the whole-grain flour

3.Reduce salt by 50%

4.Increase sugar by 50
