Hello!
It’s my second attempt to make a sourdough sandwich bread, using my stand mixer & both times once it on the stage of “bulk ferment”, it doesn’t do anything at all. No rising…
What do I do wrong?
Thank you for your attention!
How long has it been? If your kitchen is cold, that first rise could be longer, even 10+ hours.
I would like to access your referenced guide to wheat and flour variety characteristics but the link is not active. I couldn’t find it using the menu or search function. Could you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you for pointing out the broken link! Here’s the article:
For recipe and article searches on the website, make sure you’re in the Blog tab or Recipes tab or you’ll only get product results from the shop. Blog – Breadtopia
Another option is to web search “breadtopia guide to flour” or “breadtopia cranberry walnut” etc
Excellent recipe! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re welcome!
