I found this recipe while hunting for a good whole wheat bread recipe and I love it, but I am having a problem each time. I'm getting a great rise for the first time and a pretty good one when they rise in the pan, but the minute I take them out of my warm oven to brush them with the egg wash, it's like someone pulled the plug and let all the air out, then they don't rise again in the oven when they are baking. The bread is still good, but not yet sandwich size. I hand knead for 30 minutes, with a ten min. rest after fifteen mins. Am I kneading too much? I am a very vigorous kneader. I just don't know what to do. I'm looking for perfect bread, not just good bread.
