What type of flour was used and how was it measured?
When making bread, bread flour should be used by measuring it in a measuring cup – being careful not to pack it in. Using old flour will also cause bread not to rise. • Are you using quick rise yeast? When using this type of yeast, instead of Active Dry Yeast or Bread Machine Yeast, merely decrease the amount used. As a general guide, we recommend using 1/2 teaspoon of Fast-Rising yeast per cup of flour. Example: 3 cups flour = 1 1/2 teaspoons Fast-Rising yeast • Are you experiencing Hot Weather/Cold Weather/High Humidity? Salt may be increased by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon to keep the dough from rising too quickly and then falling. • Still not rising? Increase yeast by 1/2 teaspoon or decrease salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
