I'm slowly getting better at breadmaking.My earlier loaves were very dense and heavy, but I've learnt that I wasn't kneading the dough quite long enough. Now I'm a little more thorough and patient with the process and the loaves are turning out half decent. Not quite as nice and fluffy looking as your ones but a lot better and they're at least edible. Your ones look as good as anything you'd find in a bakery.Mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193213032250605913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-14403224071212296042015-08-26T08:40:46.348+10:002015-08-26T08:40:46.348+10:00The addition of fat to the dough makes it much eas...The addition of fat to the dough makes it much easier to handle.

I can make the NYT 5 minute bread, Turkish bread and focaccia but I'm yet to master the soft everyday loaf of bread for sandwiches. I have made your bread recipe a couple of years ago and it wasn't what I wanted however now I use a thermometer to check my water temperature and I find that better. I will give this recipe another go it's a good post.

Is it always the same side? Can you turn the loaf around 10 minutes after you put it in and see if that works. And make sure you preheat the oven before you put the bread in.

It keeps forever in the refrigerator as long as you feed it once a week if you're not using it. Our favorite all purpose bread is a mix 1/3 whole wheat, 1/3 white, and 1/3 rolled oats (soaked).

One question - whenever I have made a loaf in a tin it comes out in a "wave" ie one side has risen higher than the other and is split along the side. I've tried different oven settings but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Do you have any suggestions?
