If your loaves are turning into bricks, you either have the wrong flour to water ratio (remember, the 12 cups I call for are fresh ground, which is airy and much less dense than flour in a package from the store!) or your yeast didn’t get fed enough sugar and moisture to really push that wheat up into the sky! The bread pictured here is %100 whole wheat, but I have to really baby it to get it to rise–I let it sponge first, then I let it rise three times. The result is always a super-soft loaf! So when you are making your dough, make sure it stays warm, and that it is always slightly sticky (but not so sticky that it sticks to your finger. Think tacky). But sponging is the key, so try this recipe and let me know if it works for you! :)

I just want to make one loaf at a time. Can you please help? I have tried to make two different recipes with both results being cardboard or bricks.

Thank you,

I only had one problem and it was my own fault. I decided to let it go through two rising stages before I formed it and put it in the pans. It didn’t rise up big like I wanted it to, but still great tasting and still soft, which I liked!

I appreciate hearing about the Amish secrets, too. I do tend to put more oil in my bread and love the results!
