Hello, I made this bread with 100% whole wheat and instead of using vegetable oil, I melted coconut oil and I saw in someone's question that you didn't have to use dry milk if you didn't have it, however, my bread didn't get a good rise. It has been a long time since I've baked bread on a regular basis so I'm "kind of" a novice again however, I have never had bread that didn't rise. I'm wondering if it was my error or if I forgot something. I know usually, you put sugar in with the yeast as it feeds the yeast but in this recipe, it said to dissolve the yeast into only water. Should I add some of the honey when I dissolve the yeast package in the water? The bread tastes good but I was so surprised that my bread flattened out on top in the oven. Since I've never made this bread, I don't know if it was moist and dense because of the lack of rising or if that is part of the recipe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My bread did not look like your rise in the picture. :) Thank you!
