Reply To: My loaves aren’t rising the way they used to…

The changes I made per my last post didn’t have a huge affect on the volume of rise (still stuck at 3-1/2 to 4 inches, but the evenness of texture is better. That might also be because I cooked the porridge on the stove instead of microwave and the oats get softer. My window pane test is good but the te tire of the dough doesn’t look as smooth and satiny as Katherine’s in the videos. Next bake I’ll go for a marathon knead and see what happens.
