Thank you so much! I will try the extra time for rising-- it sure
hadn't risen to double it's size, that's for sure. It didn't say that
though and I'm not experienced enough to know what to look for really.
I will also look for other bread machine yeast. I might try the local
"Fresh food market" or the "whole foods grocery" too.

I use Red Star yeast. I get mine from the King Arthur Flour catalog,
but I think one can buy it in ordinary grocery stores. Fleishman's is
fine, too. You don't need a special bread machine yeast.

My bread machine book (_Bread Machine Magic_, which I recommend) also
says Welbilt bread machines need a little more yeast -- 2 teaspoons for
most 1.5 lb loaf recipes. That works great in mine. However both the
book and the machine are about 10 years old, so this may have changed.


The extra yeast may be required for bread baked in the machine. However,
since the OP baked the bread in her oven, I don't think the amount of yeast
would matter much. A little more, a little less wouldn't hurt.

OK. I don't bake in the machine, and I use the extra amount, which
works fine.
