BBA's Poilane bread too dense
Hi,
I tried the Poilane bread from BBA as well as the 100% rye bread from the same book.
The loaves came out very tasty, but very heavy and dense.
I prepared the started the day before and it stayed in the fridge for the night.
The barm was fed the day before I made the starter and really jumped to the sky...
I let the loaves rise according to the recipe, although the ambient temperature might have been a little cold for them (around 70F).
Any ideas? Should these loaves be really dense?
Thanks,
Shai
