1. 1

   One way I have come across to improve my bread is to use old Dough. Now what I mean is I make a 6 cup batch of plain dough. yeast water and flour. I let it rise twice nice and slow. then put it in the refrigerator. So before I make bread I bring it out and let it warm up. The amount of the old dough in the new is not super critical. I use about 4 cups of it to 12 cups of flour. I then use far less yeast. about a teaspoon compared to a tablespoon.

   This will change good bread into great bread. It is not sourdough so it does not really change the taste of bread. just makes it better. Makes the dough handle better too.
