1. Over-proofing. (letting the sponge or dough rise too many times)

2. Letting the dough rise at too hot of a temperature, eg. over 100 degrees. 85 degrees is the optimal ambient temp.

3. Using too much yeast per loaf. This can vary with yeast, try cutting your yeast in half.

Bread dough will become what is called "blown" dough. It will "blow up". Because of the gas bubbles produced by the yeast, it will keep growing until it has no structural integrity.
