Hi,
I received a Breadman machine as a Christmas gift from my family. I have
not yet successfully made a loaf of bread. I keep trying the same recipe,
changing yeasts, purchasing new flour, trying on a timer setting. Each
loaf comes out similar (and inedible). They don't rise.
I've tested my yeasts. I started with the Red Star I had in my freezer,
then bought packets of SAF yeast. They all seem active.... I thought by
trying the same recipe with different ingredients I would determine if the
yeast were the problem. I'm using a recipe from the Breadman instruction
booklet for "French bread," which calls for flour, salt, sugar and olive
oil. My house is warm (headed slightly for a North Texas winter), no
drafts in my kitchen.
What should I try next?
Thanks,
Grace
