    I let my bread rise by the oven light. When the bread is almost raise to to the top of the pan, I don’t remove it from the oven to let the oven heat up. I just remove the cloth, turn my oven on to bake at 350*. Saves an extra step of jostling the pans around. Work great!

      Everybody’s oven is different. Bread often likes a hot oven to start in vs a cold one. But if it worked well for you that’s awesome. I always take the bread out and let the oven heat up to 350 before putting the bread back in to bake.

      @@merleleeannskitchen Just sliced into my first ever homemade loaf of bread. It turned out really well, considering I've only ever made one baked good in the 30 years of my life. (That pattern will be ending now, lol. I'll be making plenty of baked goods from here on out.) One thing perplexed me, I must say. After the first proof, the dough was awfully sticky and remained that way all throughout the kneading process. Like, stuck to my palms kind of sticky, not just a bit tacky. I repeatedly added flour to the surface of the counter, but it never lost its stickiness. I didn't want to add too too much flour, so I stopped after a while. The dough passed the windowpane test after kneading it for a while, but it was still sticky when it went into the loaf pan (I had just recently floured the work surface, so only the seam was sticky and the dough went into the pan easily). Should I have just continued adding flour or kneaded longer?

    • @merleleeannskitchen
      @merleleeannskitchen  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m sorry - I thought I replied to this but must have deleted it before sending! It sounds like you could definitely add more flour next time. You do want to be cautious of over adding, but don’t be afraid to add enough so that it’s workable and not a big mess on your hands! Or - depending what the temperature is where you are, you could try using cooler water (around the 100 - 105 degrees if you are in a hot climate). I’m in subzero Saskatchewan, so I need to use water on the warmer side of the scale to keep my yeast alive. But - I have noticed that using too warm of water can end up in a stickier dough. Way to go for baking your first loaf! Believe me it gets easier, but there is definitely some trial and error to getting it right. Keep at it and let me know how it goes next time! 👍

    • @Remagwodahs
      @Remagwodahs 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's all good. A late response is better than none. In the meantime, I've baked 8 more loaves of bread. We're big bread eaters in this household and I'm not afraid to freeze my bread. I modified the original recipe in a few ways. Turns out the recipe I was following (unfortunately not your recipe) called for twice as much sugar and half as much salt as most white sandwich bread loafs. After reducing the sugar and upping the salt, the bread turned out much more... bread tasting, lol. Less dessert-y. But yeah, outside of the first loaf, the only dough to really stick onto me was today's loaves (I now do a double batch to save time and effort), but today was unusually humid (I'm in Arizona, smack dab in the middle of a dessert, so humidity is normally a non-factor. I've found myself getting better and better at making bread with every loaf I make. I've memorized the recipe I use now and generally know how it should look and feel in each step. I want to thank you for your videos as they taught me a few things about making breads. I subscribed as soon as I saw this video for the first time and will be looking out for all your future videos.@@merleleeannskitchen

    • @merleleeannskitchen
      @merleleeannskitchen  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is so good to hear. There is a definite way to go about making a nice loaf of bread. And a bread machine probably gets you mix everything together, but it creates a very "heavy" loaf. And another tip is always add your salt after your yeast. For some reason salt can kill the yeast and your bread won't rise the way it should.

    If it wasn’t too sticky before the first proofing - before you put it in the bowl maybe you over greased the bowl. If you had too much oil in the bowl that would make it sticky.
    Or you should have had a little more flour in the original mix before putting in the bowl.
    So glad it turned out good and that you are going to try and do it again. Homemade bread is so worth the effort. ❤

    • @merleleeannskitchen
      @merleleeannskitchen  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are very correct. I do not always add the exact amount in the recipe. You can adjust by 1/4 cup approximately. As mentioned you don’t want it to be too sticky. Weather, humidity and accuracy of measurements all affect how much flour to add. It does take some 8:08 practice. But worth it.

      Hi - I am in good old Saskatchewan Canada and it is winter here. Not much humidity this time of year.
      I found some information for you though on humidity.
      “Dough fermentation requires a relative humidity of at least 75%. So dough usually rises faster in a humid house. There can be too much of a "good thing", though. Too soft or too sticky yeast dough is likely the result of hot and humid weather.”
      So depending on how high your humidity is you may need to use a little more flour when handling the dough.
      It may take a few tries to kind of figure it out. Please let me know how you make out! 🍞😊🤞

    What can you do with a bread doesn’t rise like it should? This isn’t your recipe but one I found on google is google for a bread machine. Unfortunately my bread machine stopped working today so I tried salvaging the recipe by transferring it to my Bosch mixer which I’ve never used before 🤦‍♀️. The dough felt good after I finished stretching and folding it. I divided it into two loaves, shaped them and put them in in the bread pans. They’re in the oven now with the oven light on and waiting to see if they are going to rise enough for me to bake. This hasn’t been my best day making bread 🤦‍♀️

    • @merleleeannskitchen
      @merleleeannskitchen  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi. Thanks for the question. One thing you can check is the date of your yeast. Has it expired? I keep my yeast in the deep freeze so that it stays fresh.
      Sometimes when dough is slow to rise it could be that everything was just too cool. What is the inside temperature of your home, your bowls and liquids. Everything should be at room temperature and warmer. If not use warmer water to compensate for the coolness of everything else. Water should be around 110 F.
      Oven should be around 85 F for dough rising.
      Let me know how your bread turns out. Sounds like you are doing things correctly. And Bosch makes a great mixer! 👍😀✌️

      @@rebeccadees2300 hi. How did your bread turn out? Did it rise? One of my old theories for bread not rising is adding salt the same time as the yeast. Lots of recipes tell you to put all your dry ingredients together, but I have had a fail doing that. So I always use about 2 cups of flour with the yeast before adding any salt.
      Hope you haven’t given up on your bread baking!

  • @robyndowning2990
    @robyndowning2990 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you mix your dry ingredients together first the salt doesn't interact with the yeast. Then I add the oil and warm water. It doesn't matter, in the long run, because we all end up with bread.

    • @merleleeannskitchen
      @merleleeannskitchen  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is partially true. Making dough is an art. By mixing all your dry ingredients together then adding liquids. You will more than likely need more liquid. I am only suggesting the best way to do it. Tried and true. And as they say “there is more than one day to do something - my way, your way and the other way!” Good luck with your way.

      Good morning. If you can’t use your oven for letting the bread rise find a nice warm place in your home. By a window where the sun is shining works well. You always want the dough to double in size. It might take longer or even a bit less if it is quite warm where the dough is resting and being allowed to rise. Hope that helps.

Total amount of flour is usually between 3-3 1/2 cups of flour. I use a 1/2 cup to measure and add with until I get to about 2 1/2 cups of flour. Then about a 1/4 cup or less after this. If you use too much flour the dough will become very firm and stiff. Please feel free to email me if you have more questions. I would love to help you.
