Hello Happy New Year. i bake a bread for the first time last night. My yeast was good i made sure my water and milk were the right temps, and they rose beautifully, i punched them down and I made them into loaves I used my kitchen-aid mixer with dough hook for the kneading. the second rise didn't seem to rise as high but i cooked them anyway and they didn't get brown and they seem to have got shorter, not as tall as i thought they would be. they are good but a bit dry. what did i do wrong? thank you
