So sad! My cheese loaf FAILED! It didn't knead together and hence didn't rise. Could it be that I put too much cheese? Or my yeast, which was 1/2 a pack left over from yesterday which I'd placed in the fridge. But I did put the yeast in a zip lock.


Any experts with a diagnosis?

Oh dear. :snuggles:
I'm sorry I cannot contribute much on the diagnosis because I ain't any expert, but I don't think it's the yeast because I have been using left-over yeast for my loaf yesterday and it turned out alright.

Ladies... I have just put to bake my raisin loaf. BUT I ran out of Prima Bread Flour and so I combined it with Red Man's Bread Flour. Hope it won't affect the results. :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

alamak!! so sad.

I no chemistry expert. :idea: Just thinking aloud, maybe it's due to the type of cheese used? :? either put too much or because due to the salt content from the cheese. Remember reading somewhere on the forum that if too much salt (more than necessary), it will react with the yeast and cause the bread not to rise as much

Schweppes, but the other day when I baked the white loaf, I put 1 teaspoon of salt instead of 1/2 and it still rose. :? :? Maybe it's the cheese? :?

Hi jtoh, don't feel sad, success will always come after failure. According to the troubleshooting guide, if loaf does not rise enough or is short n heavy, there could be a number of ways to improve. U can look at the guide on page 35.

Yes jtoh, tweety17 is right. Remember my virgin loaf experience? Look at me now, the following loaves all could rise!

Wah... now we macam CSI or BSI (bread scene investigators).

Thanks for your advice everyone. I didn’t measure the cheese. Just put what I thought would be tasty. haha! I used mozarella cheese. Maybe the pieces weren’t small enough.


Do you think my putting the yeast in the fridge was a contributing factor? The bread didn’t rise at all so I’m suspecting it’s the yeast.
