I tried this recipe 3 times: 1. following directions exactly; 2. 18 hours rise; 3. half all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat, 12 hour rise. 1. The directions are not-working. The rise was marginal - the resulting loaf was almost a brick. 2. 18 hour rise - much better. Probably too long. Rose about 3/4, got sour because of lengthy over-rising, I think. 3. 12 hour rise with 1/2 all purpose unbleached flour - best of the three, although it defeats the intent to use entirely whole wheat. Nice loaf - would make again. Sorry this recipe, as written, didn't work out
