To Reduce Rising Time of Dough

Preheat conventional oven to 200˚F for 5 minutes, then turn off oven. Shape dough, place on baking pan as directed and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place dough in oven until doubled in size. This will reduce rising time by about one half.

Recipes using whole grain or unrefined flours contain less gluten and may not rise as much as those using white bread flour. As a result, these heavier breads may fall slightly in the center. This is normal and will not affect the taste of the bread. Wheat gluten can also be added to improve the shape and volume of bread made with low gluten flours.

Storing

Keeping Your Bread Fresh

There are no preservatives in your homemade bread, so store cooled loaf in a lightly sealed plastic bag. If desired, enclose a stalk of celery in the bag to keep bread fresh longer. Do not store in the refrigerator as this causes bread to dry out faster.
