I love this website and check the blogs everyday. I have a loaf of this bread rising and can't wait to use it for lunch sandwiches. Currently, Oklahoma is iced and snowed in so I was not able to get out to get instant milk powder. (used up what I had at Christmas time and just never replaced it) I substituted whole milk for some of the liquid. What should I do next time I don't have instant milk? What does the instant milk powder do for bread? I see it in a lot of recipes. Great idea using shower caps!
The instant milk powder helps bread rise - it works better than liquid milk. But no prob using the liquid milk; just expect a longer time rising, and a slightly lower rise. PJH
