This was quite good and your tips on temperature were quite helpful. It is July 19 and I am living in Malta: hot and humid. But do you have any idea as to why my bread is soooo chewy. Its only gotten this way since the temperature went into he 30 -ties with humidity leves of 60 -70 %.
@jamesbranch7239 thanks for watching, I'm glad this was helpful. You may want to slightly lower the water content of your dough as everything, including the flour, will be absorbing more moisture in the humidity. Use cold water too to slow rising time and help try to stop over-proofing in the warmer weather and collapse. What sort of bread do you bake at home?

Thank you for this. When should I add the salt? Do I put the salt into the flour mixture before adding the water with the yeast?
Thanks for watching! Yes, mix the salt and yeast into the flour and then add the water. What bread do you like to bake at home?
@@TheEpsomBakehouse I usually bake whole meal bread but I am going to try Rye.
