The bread does not rise at all
or not enough.
The dough rises too much and
spills over the baking tin.
The bread goes down
in the middle.
– too much yeast, too much flour, not enough salt
– or several of these causes
– no yeast at all or too little
– old or stale yeast
– liquid too hot
– the yeast has come into contact with the liquid
– wrong flour type or stale flour
– too much or not enough liquid
– not enough sugar
– if the water is too soft the yeast ferments more
– too much milk affects the fermentation of the yeast
– The dough volume is larger than the tin and the bread goes
down.
– The fermentation is too short or too fast owing to the
excessive temperature of the water or the baking chamber
or to the excessive moistness.
Warm liquids make the dough rise too quickly and loaf fall
in before baking.
– No salt or not enough sugar
– Too much liquid
