That's just the right size for our family to eat before it gets stale. Elizabeth and Lovina must use bigger pans because I always get more loaves out of their recipes than they say.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-54664114507014607632009-02-18T12:29:00.000-05:002009-02-18T12:29:00.000-05:00Next time I am going to bluff and put the dough in...Next time I am going to bluff and put the dough in smaller bread pans!

I made some sour dough bread and I guess it was too slack and didn't rise much over the pan edge :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-36977010075070532722009-02-17T14:19:00.000-05:002009-02-17T14:19:00.000-05:00Wow, I really need to get caught up on your blog! ...Wow, I really need to get caught up on your blog!

I've tried some of my recipes with both and don't notice much, if any difference. What I do sometimes, especially if it's a new recipe, I use my powdered milk and water. Just add the powder with the flour and other dry and use the water as if it were milk. Don't know what milk costs down there, but it's nearly $4 for a 4L bag and I can't afford to use it just for bread. My eggs come straight from the barn so I have no worries using them, it's the ones that sit in the grocery store for up to a year that I question :) As to the size, I must be honest I usually use a slightly heaped tablespoon of yeast -I buy my yeast in bulk and keep it in the freezer, much cheaper than packets and it lasts forever. That and I find if I let it rise to a good height, then put it in the cold oven and turn it on to 300F for 45min it rises a little more than it would on the counter. I also like to warm my oven then turn it off and let the bread rise in there, but that's because my kitchen is almost too cool for bread in the winter, also protects the dough from drafts from the door.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-51852697737416997482009-02-14T09:15:00.000-05:002009-02-14T09:15:00.000-05:00No problem Niki, I saw the other day that you were...No problem Niki, I saw the other day that you were getting busy and needed to take some time.

Quite a few years ago I made a bread with milk and an egg in it and made my family sick; since then I only make a french style bread that has water and a little oil only. It's never that big though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-38243517385859430602009-02-13T17:20:00.000-05:002009-02-13T17:20:00.000-05:00Hi Paula!
