I buy bulk yeast from Sam's here, but I don't care about the store or brand, just the price! No, I don’t have a favorite brand.

My grocery stores seem to only carry the Bread Machine yeast in jars or you have to buy the individual packets. Is there a certain brand of yeast you like best and where do you purchase it.

That's because this is the one-loaf version of the recipe. The two-loaf version calls for a tablespoon (or packet), but for one-loaf, you only need a teaspoon! Hi, Mary!

Most your other Gma bread recipes say a packet or 1 tablespoon. Just checking before I make it :happyflower: Suzanne,

I think it must be a coincidence that it's just with the raisin bread because it sounds to me as if it's either a kneading issue (not kneading thoroughly enough can leave pockets of gas that can bake up as air pockets) OR it could be due to over-rising. Possibly, just the different consistency of the dough with having raisins in it led you to not knead as thoroughly? That's what comes to mind to me, at least. Hi, Debi!

I have a couple, and recently just bought a non-stick. Maybe I’ll save that pan for banana bread and use the Pyrex for the good stuff; not that banana bread isn't good because it is.
