Hi Beatrice, we're sorry to hear your bread didn't rise well in the pan and turned out too dense! How are you measuring your flour, by weight or by cups? For best results, we recommend either weighing your flour, or using this method to measure your flour by cups. Adding too much flour (which is very easy to do when measuring flour by cups, particularly if you tend to scoop the flour into the cup) is one of the most common reasons for a denser bread. For more help troubleshooting this recipe, please don't hesitate to contact our Baker's Hotline. We're here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST (extended to 7pm during the holidays). You can call us at 855-371-BAKE (2253) and we are also available via CHAT.
