What you say would seem to be true, but I've tried it and making the
dough one batch at a time is easier. If I make a double batch, I need
to drag out my kitchen scales and get the right amount of dough in each
bowl for rising. If I make two batches, I simply scrape out the first
then do a second mix-and-repeat, which is simpler for me.

I live in a travel trailer and have limited space for breadmaking. In
order to bring out the kitchen scales, I need to displace something
else (herb garden, wheat grass, a little planter) because there isn't
room for mixer, ingredients, bowls, and scales. By the time I do all
of this, it would have been easier to just mix the second batch.

I will try again what has been suggested if/when/whatever I get an
apartment or a condo. Problem then will be having an oven big enough
for four loaves, which means two double batches because the mixer will
not do all four batches at the same time. So I guess I'll be right
back where I am now, doing it twice. I can't win.

Thanks for the suggestions.
