Getting Bread to rise – need help

[Guest]

I have been trying to bake my own bread for awhile, and no matter what

I seem to do I can not seem to get the bread to rise the way it is

supposed to. I have no idea what is wrong. I use a thermometer to

make sure that the water is the right temperature. The yeast is

always fresh (often used the same day I purchase, in fact). I let it

sit in a warm place that is around 80 or so degrees, but nothing.

I’ve tried different recipies, etc but still no luck. I’ve never

actually seen anyone making bread, so I don’t know what it is that I’m

doing wrong. The bread doesn’t taste bad when I cook it. It’s just a

bit flat and very dense. It does rise slightly, but nothing like what

it is supposed to. Any suggestions????
