Hi Everyone - me again.......I spooned off my hooch each day and tried to make my first loaf today.....I started Mother on Sunday.......the dough didn't rise. Not sure what went wrong here....but I am not giving up. Any thoughts? Trying hard to be a farm girl - Michelle
Hey Michelle - I'm not doing the MJs bread yet but I know there are a ton of suggestions on the thread at the top of the farm kitchen topic. Welcome to the farmgirls!! Amy Grace
