DrPhleecingD Jun 2021 1:48pm, 10 Jun 2021 52,687 posts	Quote Pin DrPhleecingD I would never sieve flour for bread! The recipe is so simple I actually don’t need it any more, just do it from memory. You certainly don’t need sugar in a bread recipe!

Muttley Jun 2021 5:36pm, 10 Jun 2021 1,149 posts	Quote Pin Muttley I read somewhere, can't remember now, that sieving the flour helped with the rise. And I used to do when I had a Panasonic breadmaker years and years ago. Maybe I was wasting my time!
