  • Yeah I know, but I don't do much before the 2nd prove. Just roll the dough into a bit of a sausage and fold into 3rds and plonk it in the loaf tin (as described in Bread Matters book). Maybe I'm just heavy handed?

  • Until it's risen or I've given up waiting for some action (i.e. several hours and it's not getting any bigger).

    Got a 50:50 white/wholemeal on the go last night, left out on the worktop to prove for a little while then in the fridge as I wasn't going to have time to prove, shape, prove, bake before bed. Plenty of rise this morning so now it's in the tin and in the fridge as I'm at work all day. Hopefully there will be some rise when I get home.
