'But I still haven't found what I'm looking for' goes the lyrics of the U2 song. And so it is with my quest for a decent loaf of whole wheat type bread.This recipe included a cup of whole wheat flour (for one loaf) along with some molasses, sunflower seeds, oat flakes and flax seeds. It looked okay, aside from the deep slice I made down the middle that gave it the look of a two-humped camel. Glenn said, "No, it looks like someone fell face first into the pan." Ha - I had to think about that for a moment.
But the texture was disappointing once again. It was too heavy/ chewy/ mucky - just not what I'm trying to achieve. Back to the drawing board or, in this case, the kneading board.
How many times do you let your bread rise?
ReplyDeleteWith the white bread I let it rise twice and punch it down twice before it goes in the loaf pans. This one only rose once in the bowl but it took about 2 hours.
