Define "OG" please. Never heard that "expression".

It's also important to note that this is a business that is out for profit. He is being paid to do this. I have nothing against King Arthur. I use their flour. However, accepting things as the gospel when the video is made by the brand themselves is a way to become a bot.

Thank you kindly

[@eugenecarter4585]

Very happy with this loaf of bread. I used a kitchen scale, the Golden Wheat and AP King Arthur flour, Kretschmer Wheat Germ, 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 USA Pan - buttered. Mixed with my KitchenAid mixer. 35 minutes uncovered in a gas oven, 193 degrees with my cooking thermometer. Cooled on a rack. Martin is a great teacher!

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

So glad to hear it! -🍮Kat

I watched this video last night and made the bread this morning. It was very good and easy to make. I didn’t have milk so I used whole milk powder. The wheat germ topping was fantastic! Martin is a great teacher.

I've made a lot of bread over the past few years but this might have become my favorite. Since I saw the video a few months ago I've made 7-8 loaves...lost track. I ran out of the KA Golden Wheat but have been milling my own hard red wheat and it still turns out a great loaf.

[@CookinLittle]

Wow, this came out good. I just needed a bread recipe and found this. I don't have whole wheat flour, nor wheat germ, and just used the white flour that I had, leaving the top coating off. Besides that, I followed the directions to a tee. Honestly, I've never been so successful at making bread before. It was so soft and fluffy. Thanks!

I’m a big fan of these videos. I substituted Einkorn flour for the golden wheat and used KA bread flour along with the other ingredients. This turned out beautifully. A little denser and nuttier.

very excited to make this. Would it be possible to mix this dough, knead, get to the point of bulk fermentation and then allow to ferment overnight in the refrigerator? I understand fermentation would go slower, so I thought I would check.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Sure, Christopher! That should work out just fine with this recipe. During step 4, let the dough rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes and then move the well covered bowl to the fridge to finish rising overnight, it should be ready to shape and go through the second rise by morning.

Can you use buttermilk instead of regular milk?

How much time does 2nd proofing requires after removing the 1st time proofed dough from fridge. I proofed for 11/2 hour, though the dough has risen still the bread was dense. But it tasted good.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

That will depend on the temperature of your kitchen, but 1.5 to 2 hours is pretty standard for an average room temperature home. It'll take longer in colder weather. -🍮Kat

[@debroepke1892]

I have a recipe that uses cooked hard red winter wheat berries ( blended in blender) and bread flour along with other ingredients. Would that work instead of the golden wheat flour?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Fresh-milled flour is always going to be a little bit unpredictable, but if you're an experienced baker you can absolutely substitute any kind of whole wheat flour here. You may just need to adjust amounts of liquid from batch to batch as there will likely be variations in protein content, etc. That said, if you're milling your own flour regularly, I highly recommend getting a Mockmill or similar home grain mill. While you can mill flour in a high powered blender, you run the risk of burning out the motor since it's not really designed for that purpose. -🍮Kat

How would I incorporate a sourdough starter?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

You can incorporate your starter into this and many other recipes with a couple of small substitutions. Simply replace 113 grams (1 scant cup) flour and 113 grams (1/2 cup) water (or another liquid; milk, juice, etc.) in your recipe with 226 grams (1 cup) of your sourdough starter. Using sourdough starter, either fed or unfed, is possible in a wide range of recipes - so long as the recipe includes sufficient water/liquid and flour to be replaced by starter. Feel free to check out our blog article on adding sourdough to a recipe (www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2015/10/29/adding-sourdough-recipe) for additional tips and inspiration. Happy baking! -🍰Grace

My go to sandwich bread pan is pullman, so I'm assuming I could just put the lid on it before I pop it in the oven? As long as it's the proper size of course, and grease the inside of the lid? That wouldn't hurt

can this be made on dough cycle of my zoe? I have decided to try it and after about 5 minutes of mixing I checked it and it was a nice ball but still wet with lots of dough at the spindles. Yes I do weigh out everything. So I hope when the cycle is done and baked in oven that its just what my hubby wants.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

You sure can, Celle! The liquid in the recipe may need to be reduced, since this time of year is often warmer and more humid, causing doughs that are more wet.

It's likely that's the issue, if you're not able to lower the temperature of the proofing setting maybe try turning it on before putting the shaped loaf in there and turning it off once the dough is in.

[@gwenanderson274]

The paper packaging for the flour bag never opens easily and the paper tears along the side of the bag. I buy flour for weekly bread making that has a higher quality bag that opens and closes like a sealed and air tight container. I do not buy this flour as the bag falls apart easily, wasting the flour.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Flour in airtight packaging doesn't age properly unless it's been bleached/bromated to age it chemically beforehand, since it needs exposure to air. Since none of our flours are bleached or bromated, paper packaging allows the flour to breathe so that it bakes up with the best consistency. But you should always decant your flour into a hard-sided container when you get home to prevent pests such as moths and rodents from getting in, regardless of what type of packaging it comes in! -🍮Kat
