Bread heads few ??

Wow. That's a stumper- I have no idea why your bread wouldn't be rising. Have you tried using Bread Flour? King Arthur puts out some excellent bread flour that rises beautifully -at least, from my experience. I use a bread maker, though, and toss in about 1/3 c of Vital Wheat Gluten to assist in rising. But that's because it's wheat flour.

It's rising. Unfortunately like a cake, when the door is open , drops when cooked. Prior to baking th erise had it looking like a nice french loaf. In it goes, out comes this.
