I made this Sunday, to take to my family who I went to visit Monday, but the bread never rose, even a quarter of an inch. The yeast was alive-when I added the liquids (which were in the temp range listed in the recipe) it bubbled-but I guess they died quickly because the load didn't rise at all. WOW, that's really weird, Melanie. Wish I knew what happened. Are you sure your thermometer is accurate? Was the liquid hot, but not so hot it would feel uncomfortable? It's definitely a yeast issue... Maybe you doubled the salt, or something? Too much salt kills yeast. Sorry 'bout that - PJH
