I also have NEVER been able to get my bread to rise as high as the one in the photo. I proof my yeast first and then continue with recipe. We DO get nice fluffy bread but just smaller. Is there a rule of thumb that says each bread loaf should have at least 3 cups of flour or something like that? Also, the fluffy bread is WHITE breads and my WW NEVER is nice and fluffy. We bake all of our breads (for about 2 1/2 years for a family of 6!) and I want less white and more whole wheat and we want fluffy. I'm trying this recipe and the starter is happening as I speak! Can't wait to see if I can get a high rise this time! Hi Alice, Are you sure your pans are 8 1/2" x 4 1/2"? If the pan is bigger, your 3 cup flour recipe won't rise to fill the pan. ~ MaryJane
