I’m with puncrob on this, I’m trying’ again and it’s always spongy. This
time I went w/less oil and stuck it in the oven right away for the 1st rise
(turned to 200, then off).

I’ve been trying to add whole grain flours (a blend) to my dough to make it
healthier but find it makes the bread gummy, unlike using all white flour.
Any feedback? I tried the easy bread by Jacques Pepin, where you mix,
proof, ferment and bake out of the fridge all in one pot. It came out ok
but a little gummy and I don’t like baking cold dough in a cold pan. Check
this out from video on the Internet. I’ve been doing no knead for 5 yrs and
just found this. Still a little skeptical.
Also, brilliant with the whole kneading in the bowl aspect. One of my main
aversions to making bread has always been whole ‘clean up the flour mess on
the counter’ problem. But now it’s not a problem. Hurrah.
In most of your video you have not mentioned the temperature for baking and
you mentioned your website for recipe but there is no Hyperlink on the
description of the video.
This video went from let it rise a second time and we’ll come back to
taking it out of the oven! Oops. I forgot the salt too. Mine’s on it’s
second rise. We’ll see!
Your recipe was thorough, up to the point of baking and info relating to
that. I did find in the follow up (Comments) bake on 400 F: that was a pity
as it was well done up to that point:
Just one little thing you did that could have damaged your bread. Instead
of letting it cool in the pan, put it straight onto the cooling rack so the
air and steam can circulate, otherwise all of the water will go to the
bottom of the load and make it slightly soggy.
Hi Steve, Thanks to your videos. You are a great teacher. Every step is so
clear. And I love the way you keep every step in one bowl, no messing in
the kitchen. I finally tried to make my first own bread, whole wheat bread.
But I read your recipe in your website you said you punched the dough
before the second rise. But in your video, you said it’s not necessary to
punch it. I did punch mine because it has risen far too much. And the
loaves came out GREAT! P.S. I put garlic & chili in my bread.

Yes, it will just be heavier, and take longer to rise. Good luck, Steve the

Will it matter if I use soy milk? I am a vegan, and don’t use any animal
products. Thanks for the great video!
