I quit buying bread in stores a few months ago and use a breadmaker with only 5 ingredients: whole wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, oil. (and only enough sugar, 2 tablespoons, for the yeast to consume (a three cups of flour loaf)) Even the best "healthy" bread in stores has stuff in it I just don't want to consume. If you have never tried a breadmaker, you might want to try one. You virtually just add the ingredients and turn it on. The texture isn't quite as good as hand-kneading, but I find the tradeoff in time saved worth it.
Switch to honey to activate the yeast. Also, do you use a poolish?
I have a great sourdough recipe.
Also an amazing NY Thin Crust pizza recipe, if you're interested. (And an ok Chicago style recipe, lol)
I haven't purchased a store pizza in over a decade. The total cost of ingredients are $3 for a $15 pizza in a store!!!
If not too much trouble, post those recipes here; there may be others who would like them too. Thanks!
I find that the KitchenAid kneads the bread while I am doing the dishes. Works quite well.
Love bread and making it, always better than store-bought. If you do have some time one day, give no knead bread a try, plenty of instructions on YouTube.
I upped the water quantity on a loaf today and it came out really good! The original recipe called for only 1 cup of water for three cups of flour, when white flour used. I upped it to 1 1/4 cup when using all whole wheat, but it was still too dense. Today I used 1 1/2 cups of water and it came out fantastic, with even the texture good. I think when the dough was denser, the kneading function of the breadmaker worked out ok and made the texture turn out ok.
