Not enough rise
For some reason the bread I try to make in a break maker is not rising
enough. Actually, I made maybe twenty test breads and only one time did it rise enough. I don't recall doing anything different that time. Is there a way to tell whether the yeast is too old, temperature is incorrect, or other reason by examining the bread? The bread is simple: 1 cup bread flour 2 tbsp yeast 5 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp salt 1 egg some butter just enough water to make a dough ball (less than 1/4 cup) |

I don't think that there is any way it would make a loaf of bread. -- Susan N. "Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, 48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy."
