First time making. So easy and the bread came out perfect with a nice soft crumb. My starter has fresh milled hard red wheat flour in her bones and I used AP flour since it’s what I had and substituted olive oil for the corn oil. I kneaded for the full 10 minutes without adding extra flour for kneading…just continue with the kneading process and the dough will transform to soft and silky. I used Pullman bread pans without the lids and proofed for 3.5 hours in my turned off, closed up microwave oven with a cup of hot steamy water. (The microwave oven makes a great proofing cabinet) I let the dough rise about an inch above the pan edges. I was concerned about the amount of sugar but the bread doesn’t taste sweet at all. Great bread recipe!
