I've been meaning to do this for a while but I finally pulled the trigger on baking bread from scratch. My wife used to do sourdoughs in the past but I've never tried it. I wanted to make a generic whole wheat loaf to start to get a sense of how it all works. I understand the general chemistry behind fermentation as I'm an avid beer brewer myself. My goal is to get into baking my own multigrain burger buns and mixed grain loafs especially using rye. With inflation driving the price of commercial breads at the store through the roof, this makes sense too. Ironically, I don't really eat much bread, kind of like beer, but it's still fun and people around me here eat it.

Questions I had for experienced bread bakers:

I got some of that Fleischmann's instant yeast to start. Followed a recipe where you add dry ingredients together, add water/milk/sugar/oil to its own bowl and microwave till 120F or so, mix it all together to form a ball, rest ball for 10 min, knead for 6-8 min, shape in bread pan and let rise for one hour, then bake for 45min or so. I find the bread was good but it was a bit dense. My wife was telling me she used to let her breads rise for hours, even overnight, to make them more airy.

Any advice/tips would be highly welcome. Here are some pics:





Thanks in advance!

My moms mom used to make killer bread. Wish I watched her do it tbh. It’s kind of scary that a loaf of store bought bread can sit for a month and not go bad. Hers would be stale in 2 days.

Phantom north, I'll be there when you hunt them down.

Absolutely Love This For You! ❤️💕
