The equation of state for hot dense matter occurring in stellar collapse is calculated using the Hartree-Fock approximation at finite temperature. The effective nucleon-nucleon interaction is a modified Skyrme force which gives a rather good value of the compression modulus in nuclear matter. Results are presented for the adiabat S=1 per baryon, with a fixed value of the electron fraction Ye = 0.25, in the density range rho = 0.02 to 0.07 baryons per fm(3). It is found that nuclei are still present in the medium. As a consequence the adiabatic index is slightly less than 4/3. The presence of a transition, around half nuclear matter density, towards a phase made of bubbles is also discussed.
