My dear wonderful Tumblr friends! I come to you for guidance.
So my boyfriend likes bread. A lot. Like whoa.
And I have never in my life made bread. Ever.
But I wanna surprise him with a fresh loaf that I made with my own two little hands. I can bake the hell out of cookies and cupcakes (I dazzled him with my Christmas cookies btw), but bread is something I have never ever tackled.
I found a recipe that looks simple enough. The reviews on the website are good so I trust it will be tasty.
Some of the times for the yeast to rise in the dough are very specific. Me finding that kind of dedicated time could be tricky.
So my question is this: if the recipe says to let the dough rise for an hour, is it okay to let it rise for two? Or three? All day while I am at work? Overnight?
Thanks for any info at all!
