I have not read all the responses so forgive me if I repeat anything.. Their are several reasons bread will not rise..
1. You have to make sure to add yeast to a bit of WARM (not cold or hot) milk or water and then a bit of sugar, wait 5 mins and it will froth that means ITS ALIVE.
2. The weather makes a huge sufferance so if its wet or humid that could be it.
3. make sure to place your dough in the warmest part of your house to rise until doubled in size (1-2 hours) in the summer I place mine in the hall and the winter I place it covered in the microwave. You can cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap which keeps heat inside.
4. Maybe its not the yeast maybe its the flour, baking soda or baking powder.
5. Are you kneading it well?
with the above you should have perfect bread every time..
