Why is it that white bread recipes have 2 risings whereas brown bread only has 1? What happens to white bread if it is only raised once?

I treat white and brown bread the same. They both usually have several risings over quite a long period of time. I make bread every other day, have done for years.

White and brown bread, like Gerry I treat them the same. I let the dough prove twice, in my case.
The only exception is when I'm 'playing' with some French breads / flours and the recipe calls for a one off prove, but these use a lot more yeast.

yep, definately agree, i make bread very often and find that they are very similar in rising. but when you do white rolls or baps, you should only rise it once as it makes the dough sweeter when it cooks.
