Bread-Bakers v006.n077.22

Regarding the trouble w/rising using Red Star Yeast, I have found that using
1/2 teaspoon LESS salt helps the bread rise higher.  I have been using Red Star
for several years w/o any problems.  Perhaps you could try this and see what
happens. 

BTW, I have used this method in a Hitachi as well as a Welbilt and a Black &
Decker (I think that was the brand).
