Would adding some vital wheat gluten help the rise any?
It really shouldn't make a difference, Rita. If you think the dough isn't rising enough, give it more time. Or possibly it's TOO soft, and is spreading sideways rather than rising up. If that's the case, knead it briefly on a well-floured surface; it'll pick up some of the flour, which will give it more structure to rise UP rather than spread OUT. PJH
