Hi Chris! Humidity can certainly play its role in compromising the texture of a bread dough. I would recommend storing your flour in an airtight container, adding a bit more flour (or less water) to your bread doughs in the realm of a one teaspoon per cup, and also make sure you are not over-steaming your doughs. If there is too much liquid on the surface of the dough as it rises, then it will remain pale, soft and rise poorly. Feel free to call our baker's hotline for any clarification on these tips at (800) 827-6836. We are currently staffed 9am-9pm every day for the holidays!
