Preparing the dough Dusting the top of your loaves with flour prior to scoring will ensure maximum contrast between white flour and dark, baked crust. I prefer to use a mixture of 50% white rice flour and 50% all-purpose flour.

How long should you bake bread?

Bake the bread for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and a loaf sounds hollow to the touch when you tap it on the bottom. The interior temperature of the bread should register at least 190°F on a digital thermometer.

At what temperature do I bake bread?

Lean-dough loaves of bread, for example, bake at 190-210 degrees Fahrenheit while heavier dough bread is done at 180-200 degrees F. There are two methods of baking the bread; you can preheat the oven for 15 minutes to 475 degrees Fahrenheit or place the dough directly into the oven without preheating.

Why is my homemade bread so heavy?

Dense or heavy bread can be the result of not kneading the dough long enough. Mixing the salt and yeast together or Losing patience in the middle of molding your bread and there is not enough tension in your finished loaf before baking.

Can you over knead bread dough?

Overworked dough can happen when using a stand mixer. Dough will feel “tight” and tough, as the gluten molecules have become damaged, meaning that it won't stretch, only break, when you try to pull or roll it. ... Over kneaded dough can't be fixed and will result in a rock-hard loaf, so be careful with this mistake.

Can you let bread rise too long?

If yeast bread rises for too long, the texture of the bread itself will change. ... This gives bread that nice, earthy flavor. If left to rise too long, that flavor will become super pronounced, and can even taste sour. Another bad thing can happen when you are actually baking the bread that was left to rise for too long.

How long should bread rise the first time?

In a toasty kitchen, your dough may proof in as little as an hour (or less!). When the temperatures dip, it can take much longer—upwards of two or even three hours.

What happens if bread is Overproofed?

An overproofed dough won't expand much during baking, and neither will an underproofed one. Overproofed doughs collapse due to a weakened gluten structure and excessive gas production, while underproofed doughs do not yet have quite enough carbon dioxide production to expand the dough significantly.

Can dough rise in the fridge?

Yes, risen dough CAN be placed in a refrigerator. Putting risen dough in the fridge is a common practice of home and professional bakers alike. Since yeast is more active when it's warm, putting yeasted dough in a refrigerator or chilling it slows the yeast's activity, which causes dough to rise at a slower rate.

Can you still bake bread if it doesn't rise?

If the dough hasn't risen as much as you expect, just give it more time. Besides, a slower rise results in a more flavorful bread.

What to do if bread is not rising?

If you don't feel like cranking up the thermostat while proofing your bread, there are lots of ways to encourage your dough to rise if it's cold. The easiest way to proof bread when it's cold is to pop your bread dough in the oven (make sure it is off!) and place a pan of boiling water in the oven along with it.

How do you make dough rise without yeast?

If you want to successfully substitute the yeast called for in a recipe, you just need to swap in the right amount of baking soda and acid to make the dough rise. You can use lemon juice, buttermilk, or milk combined with an equal part of vinegar as your acid.

What causes bread not to rise?

You've added too much sugar to the dough. Any loaf where the weight of the sugar is 10% or more of the flour weight* is going to rise sloooowly. Add too much sugar, and your bread will stop rising entirely.

How long should bread rise the second time?

How long should it take? A lean, moist dough in a warm kitchen will probably rise in 45 minutes or less. A firmer dough with less moisture will take longer to rise.

Why is my frozen bread dough not rising?

Yeast goes dormant in the freezer and is barely active in the refrigerator; it dies at temperatures about 130°F. So if you go from cold to a hot oven it will go from dormant to dead. It won't rise. Thawed dough won't rise as much as a freshly made dough.

Will frozen bread dough rise twice?

Once frozen, store the dough in an airtight container for up to four weeks. Thaw, covered, on greased baking sheets in the refrigerator overnight. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled (this is the second rise), which will take longer than dough that has not been frozen. Bake as directed.
