I have made several attempts to make simple white bread.  Every recipe I have tried the second rise just does not happen.  the dough makes it to almost the top of the bread pan.  I end up getting what amounts to half a loaf height wise.  Most recipes call for 720g of flour.  my bread pans are slightly larger than standard.  Mine are 5.25 X 9.25.  This last time I downloaded a bakers calculator that had a bread setting.  I tried this:  900g of flour, 648g water, 47.8g salt, 7.2g dry active yeast, and 1/4 cup of oil.
