I have a very simple recipe for sour dough bread that will not rise.  It is 
from the book, The Best Low-Fat, No-Sugar Bread Machine Cookbook Ever by 
Madge Rosenberg.
This recipe is perfect for me, as it has absolutely no sugar in it.  In 
normal circumstances I realize that sugar assists the yeast to rise. 
However this recipe had no sugar.  I assumed the recipe was balanced to 
take care of this problem.
I am putting the water, sourdough starter, and the salt together and bring 
it up to 100 F.  I then add the flour to the liquid, make a well in the 
flour and pour in the yeast.  I then begin the bread cycle.
Recipe:
1 1/2 tsp     Yeast
1 tsp         Salt
3 Cups        Bread Flour
3/4 Cup       Sourdough Starter
3/4 Cup       Water
I am really desperate to get this recipe to work because I cannot find a 
bread on the grocery shelves with zero sugar.  Thanks for any help you can 
give me.
