My bread no longer rises in the bread machine although I have tried many times with new batches of yeast. Is there a problem with my breadmaker?

1 I'm sure it is very frustrating when you smell that bread baking but open your maker to find that the bread never rose. Most people know that yeast is important in the rising process but you've already checked that. Here are some other suggestions: Are you using a high-gluten bread flour? Brands like King Arthur are very good quality for this purpose. Or, try adding gluten to your recipe. Gluten can be found in most grocery stores near the other bread-making supplies. Make sure your liquids are at about 80 degrees before adding them to your recipe. Check the order of placement for ingredients to make sure salt & water are not exposed to yeast too soon (salt & water on bottom - yeast at top). Also, too much salt & sugar can kill the yeast. Is your kitchen humid? Move the breadmaker to a dryer room. Finally, is it possible your bread is rising and then falling? Watch your next batch because if so, that could indicate over-rising in which case you need to reduce yeast or try reducing water amount by about 2 tablespoons. I hope one of these suggestions works for you.
