I got this new heaven recipe but ur supposed to let it rise once after kneading, punch it down, let it rise again and then let it rise after theyve been shaped.
what is the purpose of rising dough and why would it need 3 rising, it seems extraneous to me, not to mention a pain......
any insight from the pros would help...
can I skip one?
what would be the difference......

I just let it rise once and shape then rise again. I have like a nut w/o any time shaped them right away and it's worked too. But I prefer 2x - never 3.

When making bread, more than any other type of baking, it's a lot more chemistry than you'd ever think.
The yeast needs time to do it's thing with the sugar, the gluten needs time to do it's thing, there's air that has to work... it's a process.
The more rising time, the lighter the dough will get.
I have a half and half recipe, which uses a kilo of whole wheat flour and a kilo of bleached white flour. It calls for the 3 risings and I find that when I only do 2, the bread is heavier.

The 3 risings make a nice airy dough, but some people like their dough heavier so it's really a matter of taste. I let mine rise twice. Once in the machine, and once after I shape it.
