Lord Ras ask what was missing from my other post:

I almost always allow for a second rise in my bread baking.  I think it
gives a fuller lighter loaf.  I know we had a discussion a while back about
one or two rises in bread baking.  So I was being wimp and not trying this
one until I found out what the list's opinion was.  I have had trouble
baking with rose petals before (see my rose petal cake recipe).  They
scorch or the dough stays mushy around them (I think I added them to the
batter wet from washing).  So I wanted someone else to give me baking times
and temperatures.  Aren't I bad!
