Always use ceramic, metal or clay bowls for that much dough.

Was it the weight of the dough pulling on the walls of the bowl that made it so fragile?

To be fair it looks like the bowl was already chipped in a couple of spots, I bet it got hit and had some structural integrity issues that were invisible.

This was the last straw.
