Title: Leaving bread to rise
Post by: Cuilidh on February 01, 2011, 07:47:45 pm

I love making bread in the TMX but am curious to know why some breads require only one rising, whilst others ask for two risings.  Can anyone tell me why this is so?  If a recipe calls for just one rising, does it do any harm to leave it to rise for a second time, and vice versa?

The gluten develops better with 2 rises, but because i often don't have time to do that, I will shape my dough and leave it to rise for longer. The difference is barely discernible.
