Not an inch did the bugger budge. The same happened when I tried making the doughnuts even thought they did come out amazing and also for the cinnamon buns. The dough is very heavy and not bread like at all. Please tell me what am I doing wrong ................. Hi !

My grocery stores seem to only carry the Bread Machine yeast in jars or you have to buy the individual packets. Is there a certain brand of yeast you like best and where do you purchase it.

That's because this is the one-loaf version of the recipe. The two-loaf version calls for a tablespoon (or packet), but for one-loaf, you only need a teaspoon! Hi, Mary!

Most your other Gma bread recipes say a packet or 1 tablespoon. Just checking before I make it :happyflower: Suzanne,

I think it must be a coincidence that it's just with the raisin bread because it sounds to me as if it's either a kneading issue (not kneading thoroughly enough can leave pockets of gas that can bake up as air pockets) OR it could be due to over-rising. Possibly, just the different consistency of the dough with having raisins in it led you to not knead as thoroughly? That's what comes to mind to me, at least. Hi, Debi!
