INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

The main reasons I found for lack of rise in my bread are, in order of
importance:  Ingredients are too cold: warm up the water in the
microwave (or by  whatever    other means) first. Once I did that, the
bread started  rising quite well. Pre-knead the dough for 15 minutes.
This makes a  huge difference. Just set the machine on the cycle you
want and press  start. After 15 minutes, press stop and then restart
the cycle from  the beginning. If you want to make the bread on the
timer, then just  put all the ingredients into the breadpan EXCEPT for
1 cup of flour  and the yeast. Let the machine knead the stuff in the
breadpan for 15  minutes and then press stop, and add the last cup of
flour, add the  yeast on top, and set the timer. Not enough liquids:
there, one has  to be careful. Not enough liquid will prevent the bread
from rising  well, but too much liquid will make it rise well, but then
it will  collapse. This is especially true with Rye bread. Too much
liquid  will make it so that the insides of the bread will spill out
when you  removed the bread at the end of the cycle. You use gluten, so
this  might not matter. But just in case, make sure your wheat flour is
made from hard wheat. You should not have to use gluten. For the rye
bread, gluten should also not be necessary, but if you really like
fluffy bread, then add it anyways. From: Bread-Bakers Archives:
