... white bread

What happens when you follow the recipe (left) and when you don't (right):

I made this plain white loaf, adding some fennel seeds to the dough for flavour. I let the dough rise for two hours as per the recipe, but wanted to see what happens if I don't give the dough a second knead - the answer is, it doesn't rise as much. I could have probably guessed that that's what would happen, as I've never come across a bread recipe that doesn't say you have to knead the dough a second time after rising, but I was surprised to see just what a difference this made. I didn't even knead the dough on the left for that long... Anyway, the lesson learnt is to stick to the recipe!
