Hmmm, could be a lot of different things. If your yeast isn't fresh; or if you're using "rapid rise" yeast, the yeast could simply be pooping out. If you're using a different size pan than the recipe suggests, your loaf may not rise very tall, since it's spreading sideways. If your dough is overly salty or sweet, the yeast will slow down. This sounds like a subject for further discussion, though — how about calling our hotline: 855-371-2253. Our bakers will be happy to talk this through with you. Good luck! PJH
