Hi! I love, love, love your blog. I am one of those who would enjoy working in the test kitchen. I am having one bread baking issue, however. I have made challah twice now and the English muffin toasting bread is in the oven now-neither of the doughs rose as much as they should have. I used the instant yeast and did everything else to the letter. I am getting so frustrated! I live in upstate SC, so there should be no elevation issues. HELP!!! I haven't cooked much with yeast and I have no family or friends who bake so there is no one here to ask what I'm doing wrong. Any insights you may have would be greatly appreciated! When doughs are low rising, it can indicate the dough needs a little bit more liquid. Next time try adding 1-2 more tablespoons of liquid to the dough. The bakers are always here to help. Please call us if you need assistance, 800-827-6836. Frank from KAF.
