-
- In Massachusetts, try "Bread and Circus" stores for exotic flours.
- I think that is where my wife found them. There is a store in
- Wellesley and if you call them, I am sure they would provide you
- with locations of other branches.
-
- Also, buy your yeast there. They sell it in bulk. It is much cheaper
- and MUCH better than the Fleishmans stuff you buy in the packets. With
- the Bread and Circus yeast, we generally cut the yeast to half what the
- recipe calls for - otherwise the bread tends to rise too much.

- e-mail from Jane has revealed the source of the problem!
-
- (She deserves full credit, but I hesitate to post full
- names without permission!)
-
- If we can get the dough to rise enough, it will bake
- properly. Jane's solution is to add 2Tbl gluten to the
- dough. It works! Many Thanks Jane!
-
- Could it be possible that when we all first got our bread
- machines, we baked so often that our kitchens were filled
- with yeast spores ... now we bake less often, our windows
- are wide open, and so heavier breads don't have the benefit
- of additional air-borne yeasts?
-
- Along a related line, a friend used rapid-rise yeast by
- mistake and had incredible results! A giant mushroom. She
- now uses it intentionally 'for effect'.
-
- Has anyone else used rapid-rise? Possibly in a heavy dough?
