Question about breadmaker?!


Question: Question about breadmaker!?
Hi, I have a question that I hope someone can answer before my bread is done baking! hahaha!.!.!.
OK, I bake a loaf of bread pretty much every day, but I'm tired of it being really tall and weird shaped (from the breadmaker), so I'm thinking that I will take it out after it's mixed/kneaded and bake it in the oven!. I have already done this with white bread, because I just use the "dough" setting; I'm curious, though, if the "dough" setting would work for a whole-wheat loaf!? I know that whole-wheat is supposed to have a longer rise time!.!.!. so I'm not sure what to do with it! How long would I need to let it rise before baking it!?
OR--
Should I set the breadmaker on whole-wheat setting and then take the bread out before the final rise and put it in a pan!? If so, at what time would I need to take it out!? I've never figured out what times are what stage of baking on the whole-wheat setting!.!.!.

Thanks for any advice! Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Just make any bread you want and put it on dough setting- it doesnt care what the ingredients are it is just going to mix and rise the dough once!.

If perhaps you needed a slightly longer rise the first time and missed it - you can rise it the correct amount the second time!.

If you really wanted to be sure - once the dough setting is complete just leave the whole wheat dough in the warm machine a little bit longer and then take it out, punch it down and do the second rise!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure, set the cycle to "dough setting" when the dough is done shape as you would but like you say it will need a little longer rise time!. Just like white bread I think the rise is double volume!. Might not be quite that but close!.
I think the whole wheat setting on the bread maker just adjusts the temperature because the bread is darker it would get too brown if it were cooked on a regular cycle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

bread should rise once and then punch down and place in loaf pan , leaving it until doubles in size; coat top with melted butter or oil , lightly and bake 350 about 35 - 45 minutes depending; should have a hollow sound when you knock on the top of the loaf showing bread is cooked; I hear you with the look of the bread machine breadWww@FoodAQ@Com
