In reply to the discussion: Slow rise bread [View all]Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)1. I haven't baked bread for years, but decided to start doing so this winter.
Our local bakery has almost quit baking white bread (I'm not supposed to eat wheat due to a colon problem) and I've had my fill of trying to catch a loaf whenever they get around to baking it. I would love to have a truly good recipe...particularly, for a brioche type of bread that would make great toast and/or French toast. HyVee in a nearby town makes an English Muffin Bread, which is wonderful for grilled cheese sandwiches, as well as the toasts.
Your bread may have risen more slowly because you didn't use enough yeast. Maybe a little extra sugar would have helped? Now that we are starting to cool off for Fall, I put my dough in the oven to keep it from drafts, which seems to help since the a/c is still on. Just a thought.

I'd LOVE the recipe. I buy/freeze loaves when I find them, but it would be more fun

Sounds great. I should have said sourdough, but couldn't remember the name of it.

I make my own brown bread, using a teaspoon of baking soda and a teaspoon of wholemeal.
