1. Dense bread may result from insufficient kneading, which fails to develop gluten, crucial for structure and texture.
2. Incomplete proofing can cause dense bread; ensure dough doubles in size for optimal rise.
3. Heavy flour leads to density; use correct measurements and sift flour to incorporate air.
4. Low yeast activity affects bread’s rise; check yeast’s freshness and activate it properly.
