Recently, I made a loaf of bread. I made the dough in the bread machine, then transferred it to a baking pan. After letting it rise some more, I baked it in the oven. The recipe is from Money Saving Mom.
The bread was very tasty and a good texture. It was delicious with sandwiches. Plus, it was simple to make. I loved that the ingredients were not too complex.
I would like my bread to rise higher. Any suggestions?
Well, I just stumbled upon Crystal’s recipe myself, and here’s a few ‘rising” suggestions – my mom used to put her rolls or breads out in the front or back window of the car (whichever was in the direct sunlight). It was just warm enough to make them rise incredibly, but not enough to cook them. 🙂
We only have one car, so I’m usually stranded at home. So, if it’s a rainy day, I just turn my oven on super low (150 degrees) for about 5 minutes, then turn it off, and let the dough rise in there until it’s doubled. . . then I crank up the heat to whatever the recipe calls for. That usually works pretty well. 🙂
This dough is rising in my oven right now – we’ll see how it turns out!
You can use Vital Wheat Gluten (you can find it at most grocery stores near the flour) – it makes whole wheat breads rise higher and give a lighter and fluffier end result.. much like store bought breads… I hope this helps 🙂
