Going blind does tend to produce a few surprises. : -)

Well Jim, it sure produces a few surprise answers to posts, 'that's' for
sure.... ;-)

I was talking about 'rise times', NOT the 'same bread' or some variant.

The weather here yesterday at 1:00 PM was 31C and 43% humidity. By 3:00
or so it was 20C and 89% humidity.

My bread still turned out nice, although it was a long rise....
