Trying this recipe for the second time in two days. The first loaf didn't rise much but baked up well and taste wonderful. After baking it, I noticed in the recipe where it says to dissolve the yeast in some of the water, which I did not do. So for this second loaf, I have "proofed" the yeast in the water before mixing. So far everything looks better, loaf is on second rise. Can't wait to see if I get a good rise this time.
