Hi Patricia, it sounds like you're having difficulty getting your whole wheat bread recipe to rise properly? It's difficult to say exactly what's going on, but we'd highly recommend this recipe. For best results, be sure to either weigh your flour, or use this method to measure your flour by cups, and don't skip the pause between mixing the dough ingredients and kneading the dough. This pause allows the bran in the whole wheat flour to fully hydrate and soften, which will lead to a more productive kneading process and a better rise.
