One of my loaves came out lopsidedtotally my fault. I used light colored pans because that's what hubs bought and moved down to 8x4 instead of 9x5. It did make a difference in height, but I like the darker crust on the sides and bottom from the darker pans. I'm getting the hang of knowing when I've added enough flour and these loaves are super moist. One is for garlic bread for dinner.

IgorsMistress, There are a lot of factors to consider: temperature in
your house at the time, the mositure in the flour etc/ Usually 1 to 2 hours( I usually do one hour first rise) Second: usually 1 hour. Please note: Sometimes it can rise a bit and if you leave longer it will
"deflate". Follow the recipe and you will get the "feel" of the dough.
Yeast baking is a lot of trial, error, LEARNING. Once you got it...
you WILL KNOW. When I first started baking with yeast...there were a lot of MISTAKES. Glad to got it from KA. Regards, Aria

Thank you, I did go ahead and punch down the first rise after about 90 minutes when the dough doubled and my second rise was much better this time.

Nice Bread!

Getting the bread to dome up well has a lot to do with how you shape them. There is a folding technique that will add more tension to the top of the loaf which will make it spring up better.

It might need more flour and it might have raised a bit too long in the pan. If it is a yeast bread the raise in the pan is usually 50 minutes to an hour

It's a learning process for sure. I watched a couple videos about shaping but today I was in a hurry to get them done. I should have slowed down and put more effort in.

The bread is coming out nice!

The good thing about baking bread is that you always get to bake more

I didn't get to it this weekend (fences and other pasture issues), but next weekend I'm going to to try the white bread recipe in loaf pans. then modify to whole wheat bread next. I want to be able to bake a consistent whole wheat bread that does well in a loaf pan so I can get sandwich bread.

Brownies for dessert.

My brother-in-law gave me pantry items he didn’t want. Anung the items, are butter beans, cannellini beans, chili pinto beans, and roasted broad beans dusted with cocoa.
What do I do with butter beans? Are the pinto beans an alternative to kidney beans in chili? Has anyone ever heard of broad beans or cannellini beans?

I use pinto beans in chili all the time but I start with dry beans not canned already seasoned beans.
