  • Question
    What's causing my bread to have holes throughout it?
    Community Answer
    Yeast is what causes bread to rise. Yeast is a type of live fungi that consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. The little holes in bread are from the pockets of carbon dioxide gas that the yeast released. If you have bigger, uneven holes in your bread, perhaps you did not evenly distribute the yeast.

  • Question
    Can I use self-raising flour for bread?
    Community Answer
    I wouldn't. Bread flour has a high protein content, which helps gluten develop, which gives bread structure and texture.

  • Question
    I used this recipe and the bread was awful. Are you sure the amount of yeast is correct?
    Community Answer
    It sounds right to me. Are you sure you haven't killed the yeast? Try it again and see if it works.

  • Question
    Is the flour plain or self-rising?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    The flour should be plain. The yeast will make the bread rise.

  • Question
    Is it normal that the bread starts to melt?
    Ava Wu
    Community Answer
    No, this isn't normal. Bread isn't supposed to melt. It can rot and mold, but it can't melt. Whatever you did to make it melt is definitely not the right steps to this procedure.

  • Question
    What's the benefit of doing this instead of buying bread at the grocery store?
    Community Answer
    If you needed to know exactly the ingredients in your bread, or wanted to customize it to your taste, store bought might not work. Or if you prefer the taste of homemade bread, want a quick cooking project, etc.
