Notes

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.

I’m using active yeast instead of instant and this is the second time I’ve made this and my bread will not rise and it just won’t work. Do I activate the yeast and add it at the same point in the recipe or do I just add it to the water and honey at the beginning and then add everything else?

I have made this 3 times now...follow the recipe and my bread won't rise like at all! The first two times I just used hot water from the faucet. (Which has always worked for store bought flour and rising before) the 3rd time I took it's temp and it was only 104° so I heated it to 108° before making... But still it's not rising. I have brand new instant yeast. The saf-instant brand. Any tips?

It could be because it is sifted, it's acting differently than true whole grain that isn't sifted. Is your dough really wet? You may need to reduce the liquids. Also make sure you are kneading to windowpane or else it won't rise well

Hi! So I’m hoping you can help me troubleshoot- I’ve been doing these loaves and first ones came out great, from there I can’t get the insides to fully cook- they still taste a little doughy to me. If I leave these loaves in any longer, they burn on top. I can get them to about 25 mins, sometimes a bit longer. I let them cool all the way, we use the classic nutrimill and the instant yeast you recommend. Any thoughts you have would be helpful! Thanks 🤗

It looks good! Does your dough rise nicely in the pans? If not, that could be the reason they are not getting done in the middle. Make sure they rise nicely before baking. You can also cover the tops with foil near the end if you need to.

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?

It doesn't matter, but I use bottles. Maybe the other recipe you use has more yeast? You can add more yeast to my recipe to help speed up the rise if that's what you'd like to do!
