made color for pumpernickel - ready to try again, duplicating the Black Angus Steakhouse bread.
Made 2 loaves of NYT whole wheat (25% whole wheat flour) in my newly acquired Thrift Store bakers.
And 2 loaves of seeded Italian. I made one braided for a dinner we're hosting tonight. Should have made it shorter so it would have risen more, but it will be fine as it is. I just won't show them the regular loaf.

The only reason I can think of that your NYT does not rise is your yeast. Are you using 1/4 t of INSTANT YEAST? If you're using Active Dry Yeast, the stuff in the little foil packages, go get Instant Yeast and give it a shot again.Joe, I am so jealous. I have tried a few times and I can't get my NYT Bread to rise.
