Stores out of bread?

better bread.

Did you use actual bread flour or all-purpose? I would also add about 2 tablespoons of skim milk powder, or sub half the water for milk. Makes it softer . Also seeing as it is using active dry yeast I would add that initially to the water,, and add the salt very last by sprinkling the salt over top of the flour. Each machine can be different in how they want you to load the ingredients,, but if you water wasnt warm enough and the active dry yeast was up top of the flour,, it's not going to be warm enough when it finally gets wet, hence taking longer to rise than the machine is timed for.

I used Gold Medal unbleached bread flour. Adding milk is an idea. The salt was added before the flour. I wonder if the dough was too dry. The machine seemed to struggle sometimes while kneading. I did add an additional tab. of warm water. Today was cool with low humidity. Perhaps that was also a factor.
