How long do you bake a sandwhich loaf?
I forgot a 100% whole wheat sandwhich loaf in the oven (my timer isnt that loud) and much to my surprise is was not burnt. In fact it came out fantastic. It bake was just over an hour in total, 12 minutes @ 450 F and then another 53 minutes at 400 F. The loaf had a great hollow thump on the bottom and the crust was super crispy (i didn't even steam it!). So now im wondering if I should just start baking longer.
what are your typical bake times and temps for lean doughs?
