Rising bread problems

Question about typical rising time

August 31, 2011 - 7:08am -- jonesiegal

What is the typical time it takes the bread to rise after mixing up the bread but before punching it down and seperating it into bread pans for the second rising?

I mixed up the bread yesterday morning.  It has been 11 hours but the bread has not even doubled yet and I was expecting it to triple by now.

I have it in a bowl in a warm area with a damp cloth over it.  I am a bit disapointed; I expect to be able to bake it this morning.  Is it possible to over mix it and keep it from rising?
