Q: Why hasn’t my bread risen?

A: Yes, but increase the activation time to 15 minutes.
Q: Why is my bread so dense?
A: The bread may not have been kneaded properly or the environment in which the bread is rising may be too cold.
Q: How do I prevent burning?
A: Use a heat diffuser if possible, keep the heat low, and check frequently.
