Bread Help?
I make home made rolls sometimes that I really love, but it seems that I screw them up as often as I get them right. It's just a basic yeast roll recipe (I think from the Better Homes cookbook). I think my problem has to do with the yeast since my main issue is sometimes they don't rise. I do everything the same, every time. The only thing I don't do is check the temperature of the butter, etc. that I'm pouring in with the yeast because I don't have a way to do that. Ideas? If checking the temperature would make the difference, what would I need to be able to do that? I'd need something fairly cheap...

Re: Bread Help?
What water are you using? It might be that you are using tap water which contains chlorine, which kills yeast. The butter & water/milk you add to the yeast should be warm, like a baby bottle. If it is too hot to touch, it's too hot for the yeast. HTH

Re: Bread Help?
I usually use tap water because it's what I have... Would filtered work? (Our water has waay too much chlorine, so that's probably it. At night, it actually smells like bleach! Eew!)

yep, filtered should help.
