I've been making bread for almost 20 years, mostly from a recipe for 
whole wheat and one for caraway rye. Both recipes produce loaves with 
a nice rise. However, occasionally I try a new recipe and find that 
the rise is not what I would liike. My first thought is that it must 
be the quantity of yeast called for but I have been reluctant to 
change that for fear of spoiling the whole batch.

Does anyone know of a ratio of yeast to flour that is most ideal? I 
would appreciate any advice extended.
