Thanks for some of your suggestions. Unfortunately, I’ve already
tried most of them. I even bought a bread machine and had the same
problem. I ended up with a little brown brick, so I got rid of it.
I don’t live in what is considered a hight altitude and I’ve tried
letting it sit in a warm oven, warm car, etc. It’s like I’m jinxed!

just dump everything in thr machine and set it to the dough
setting. When done, dump the dough out, shape it, let it rise again
for 30 mins to a couple of hours, then cook it.
