Lynn, Could it be that you are mixing the pizza dough more thoroughly because there is less of it? Maybe if you tried mixing the yeast in just a small amount of the bread dough, then adding the rest of the ingredients slowly that would help.....??? Other than that, I don't have a clue...

My guess would be that with the bread the only thing there is flour and yeast, but when you do the pizza the smell of the sauce and cheese plus the toppings is much stronger than the yeast and so you don't notice it as much.

Hah, that could be it. I was thinking about that, but thought, naaah. I'm going to try again using the pizza dough for the bread. See if that is the case. If it is, then I am NOT baking anymore homemade bread :o) Thanks, Jane!!!! :o) Lynn Jane wrote: My guess would be that with the bread the only thing there is flour and yeast, but when you do the pizza the smell of the sauce and cheese plus the toppings is much stronger than the yeast and so you don't notice it as much.

Thanks Mary. No, that can't be it, because I already mix it in a small amount and really mix it up before adding the rest of the flour. So, I don't know. I did give up for a while, but I might just try it again. I've gotten to the point where I hardly eat bread at all, but I love homemade bread, just don't know why I can't make it that I don't taste and smell the yeast. It's a puzzle :o) Thanks anyway, I appreciate all of you trying to figure this one out for me. There were some dough things that came out o-kaaaaaay, but like Anna said, maybe it's just my extreme smeller and taste buds_that could very well be. :o( :o) Lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: marysaerie To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 5:49 AM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Bread Lynn, Could it be that you are mixing the pizza dough more thoroughly because there is less of it?
