I accidentally did an hour and 40 minute proof on the braided loaf because I didn't read the directions- it grew into what my husband lovingly refers to as a "meglonculor" a kaiju of confection that far exceeds what a normal person should consume. It ended up being 12in in diameter after baking and still amazingly delicious. Next time, I would probably start with a 20 minute proof and check every 10 minutes until its a reasonable size.
