Out in Wyoming, it took 3 rises to make good bread.

Hmmm, hadn't heard of that. The recipes I've been using have an initial and an "in the pan" rise. I wonder if maybe my bread tends to be flatter than I expect because I don't really pay attention to when it gets to "doubled". If it is doubled when I check it, I deflate and stick it in the pan for second rise. Maybe it has been sitting at "doubled" for some time and that causes issues?

Out in Wyoming, it took 3 rises to make good bread. Because of the elevation, it took only 45 minutes for the dough to double in size, so I would have to knock it down twice before forming into loaves for the last rise.

Hmmm, something to try on my next baking day to see if it works for me.

Bakers good afternoon one and all!

I've been out working on my chicken coop.

The food all looks good.

Have a great day!

@BigBlueHen53 About your bread that didn't rise so much - is there a chance that you let it over-rise when you put it in the warm oven?
How is the texture of the bread, if the crumb is not as good as usual, that may have been the issue. When bread dough over-rises, it breaks some of the gluten strands and will form a bread with a more crumbly texture that won't rise as well (since the gluten strands are what hold the air bubbles that cause the bread to rise).

Out in Wyoming, it took 3 rises to make good bread. Because of the elevation, it took only 45 minutes for the dough to double in size, so I would have to knock it down twice before forming into loaves for the last rise. A friend was visiting one day while I was making bread and saw me doing the 3 rises and then got to try the resulting bread. He went home, did the same process and called me up and said his bread was so much better - he never realized that they were letting the bread over rise on the second doubling.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind! Certainly possible.

About how long to 2nd rise the Bread> 30 minutes 45 or 1 hour? Just estimated of course. Aria

I think it was about two hours. No, I'm wrong. That was the first rise. The second rise, in the pans, was at least 4 hours. Maybe 5. It was sooooo slow! I finally just got tired of waiting and figured it wasn't going to rise any more, so I popped it in the oven, and put water in the bottom. Fifteen minutes at 375°, fifteen more at 350°. I would have baked it 20 at 350, but it was clearly done.

I ordered the Escoffier cookbook I mentioned a while ago. English translation.
