So sorry; it could be the white whole wheat, as this recipe makes a dough that's slow to rise, anyway, and perhaps the whole wheat pushed it over the edge to "didn't rise enough" territory. I hope you try them again sometime, following the recipe as written, using all-purpose flour; that way you can experience what they're supposed to be like, and you can then make changes with a baseline in mind. Good luck - PJH
