I like to add the flour slowly, 1/2 cup at a time and watch how the dough reacts. You don't want to add too much flour. Add just enough to where a soft dough forms and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. I like to use my barely warmed oven (preheat for a few minutes and then turn it off). Since this recipe makes taller loaves, it’s okay to allow the dough to rise out of the pan a little bit, but don’t go too high or it will fall during baking.

The first time I made this I only made one loaf and halved the recipe and it turned out great. The second time I made two loaves and for some reason it’s gummy in the middle. The outside is brown and looks just fine but when you cut into it, the middle of the slice seems doughy. What could possibly cause this?

It's just underbaked - Use a instant read thermometer, you want it to be about 190* F.

Thank you. I do put them in my warm oven for both rises. They did turn out very good. The bread was soft and tasted great! The recipe I normally use with fresh milled flour, my bread only takes about 30 min to rise. I really want to start using your recipe because it’s so much easier and less ingredients. Next time I won’t panic when it takes longer than 30 min.😆 Also, do you use fresh lemon juice or bottled?? Does it matter?

Absolutely that is the reason why. That is the first place I start with when people ask me why they are making bricks rather than bread ;-) Without a proper mill, it would be best to save your money for a real one and not waste ingredients ($$$) and time using coarse flour. No one likes chunks of grains in their bread ;-)

It wasn’t overly sticky, added a bit more flour while shaping after the second rise so was easy to handle. Didn’t think it would be this much of a learning curve for me, I might be over thinking it a bit, afraid of adding too much with the fresh milled vs AP. I am using the same pans I’ve used for 20 years so maybe it is time to upgrade 😊
