The First Loaf without Cheating
OK, that loaf of World Bread was not a 100% success. The dough ball from the first step was pretty stiff, so I'm not surprised that the bread came out too dense.You can see from this bottom view that the dough held it's shape too much, instead of conforming to the pan. The first step needs more water or less flour to make a dough ball that isn't so stiff. I'm thinking that less flour is a better choice.
This loaf wasn't a complete failure, though. It tastes good. It's just a little too dense.
For now, I've got a lot of bread to eat. I hope to try a rye bread recipe this coming weekend.
Next: Rye bread
