Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I was thinking that too. I used the yeast packet that came with the mix and the mix was best before 10/12/05. , eye of newt <cowpuppies@e...> wrote: > > On Mar 2, 2005, at 7:58 PM, lickifu wrote: > > > > > > > > > Okay, so I just made this in my bread machine and it only came out to > > being about 5 slices big.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Or, you used slow rise yeast, rather than rapid rise (for bread machines). Also, if your liquid was too hot, it can kill the yeast (and if too cold and your machine doesn't have a pre-heat cycle, it can rise too slowly). > > eye of newt > > On Mar 2, 2005, at 7:58 PM, lickifu wrote: > > > Okay, so I just made this in my bread machine and it only came out to > > being about 5 slices big.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I don't know what kind of yeast it was but the package said that the bread could be made in bread machines...all of my ingredients were at room temperature. Do the eggs have anything to do with the bread rising? I should also mention that the bread does not taste too bad: although it's quite dense, pretty moist/gummy, and has a faint yeast taste (none of which are especially bad qualities). , " K.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Okay, now that the bread has cooled, it is now quite hard (the crust is hard as a rock and the inside is not all that soft either). Is that normal? -Danielle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
