How to make 2 loaves of this bread at the same time:
- Double the ingredient amounts except the instant yeast.
The reason for not doubling the yeast amount is because a little leaven leavens the whole lump.
4g instant yeast is enough to leaven the doubled dough and adding too much yeast may result in a yeasty smelling bread. - Please note that times for kneading may be slightly longer – use your judgement based on your experience making one loaf – go at your own pace.
- After Step 29 and before Step 30 on the printable recipe, weigh the dough and split it into two equal portions.
- Apply Step 30 and onward to each dough to produce 2 loaves.
