Hi Susan, if your bread isn't completely filling the pan during baking, you might want to let it rise a bit higher in the pan before baking. Did your new yeast yield better results? If so, it could be that your older yeast was holding you back. Here's a good way to check if your yeast is still active enough. For more help troubleshooting, please don't hesitate to give our Baker's Hotline a call. We're generally here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST, and the number to call is 855-371-BAKE (2253).
