Large(r) Loaves
Greetings:
I am now a two time bread maker. I used the same recipe for both attempts. 100% Whole Wheat, mainly because that is the only kind my wife enjoys. The technique and the recipe were obtained from Bob Curry a Jesuit Brother who wrote a book on Jesuit bread making. As desribed, the recipe makes two 9 x 5 loaves. We found the bread delicious (both times) but the finished loaf just a bit two small for sandwiches or anything else. I wonder how to go about making larger size loaves using this recipe. Is there a larger size of loaf pan than 9x5? If I were to use the entire mass of dough as one loaf instead of separating it into two as instructed, how much loaf would that make? The instructions are to bake the two loaves at 400F for 40min. If now one big loaf would the time/temp need to be changed? If two big loaves were made, how much time and what temp would be necessary to bake them together? Lots of questions, I know. Sorry if this is an old topic. TIA.
