I have used this recipe it’s great. But since I’ve been making more bread I bought a big loaf bread pan no lid can I put the entire recipe in the bigger pan

Hi, Kerri! The recipe instructions have been updated for clarification, but the first rise is in the bowl (either the one it was mixed in or you can use a clean bowl). Then the dough is shaped into the 2 loaves, placed into the bread pans, and covered for the second rise prior to baking.

I was wondering which rising method is better, because in the "How to make the best homemade bread" section, I'm instructed to split the dough into two loaves, place them into loaf pans, cover them, and let them rise for an hour. However, in the recipe card, I'm instructed to leave the dough whole in the bowl it was mixed in, cover it, and let it rise for an hour. Can you provide clarification here? Thank you.

Hi, Alexis, thanks for bringing that to my attention, it definitely was confusing. I've updated the recipe but just know the loaves just need to be formed and shaped so they fit your pan or desired shape, and then the dough needs pinched together wherever it meets.

Step 6 is a little confusing. If im separating it into 2 loaves then why do I pinch the loaf together after I fold it over onto itself. The photo in the step by step instructions before the recipe didn't help me sum it up either. Could you explain what you mean in more detail?

I was wondering about add-ins for this bread. How would jalapeño cheddar be with this dough? Or maybe an everything bagel seasoning? Does the honey make it sweeter, which wouldn’t pare well with those flavors? Just curious. I’m going to try the bread but since it makes two loaves figured I try one with an add-in. Just didn’t want to waste ingredients if someone already knows it wouldn’t turn out well with more of a savory flavor. Thanks!!!

We just added more information to the post but we didn't put every single step in the blog post, just the basics. The recipe in the recipe card is still the same and all of those things you mentioned are still included. We just added more information and new photos for clarity. The recipe has not been changed, it's a great recipe!
