  If your Kenwood Bread Maker produces bread that doesn't rise enough, consider these solutions: * It might be a normal situation. * Try increasing the liquid by 15ml or 3 teaspoons. * Ensure you're assembling ingredients as listed in the recipe. * Use strong bread flour instead of plain white flour. * Avoid all-purpose flour. * Use fast action “easy blend” yeast for best results. * Measure the recommended amount of yeast and check its expiry date. * Remember that some cycles produce shorter loaves. * Keep salt and yeast separate when adding them to the bread pan.
