I'm having problems baking bread. Why is it heavy and compact?


If your homemade bread is heavy and compact, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
 

  • too much flour added;
  • dough not allowed to rise long enough; or
  • certain flours create heavier products than all white flour (rye, whole wheat).
