Bread very slow to rise
I'm completely new to baking, so I decided to start by making a basic
loaf of bread. I proofed the yeast, checked the water temp first at 110
F, did all the kneading, placed it in a warm place. Over two hours
later it had finally risen somewhat, at least enough to where it had
probably doubled, so I punched it down again, put it in the pan, and
over an hour later I'm still waiting for it to rise enough in the pan.
I think I'm doing everything right, but being so new I'm not sure. Any
ideas as to what might be going on, or that I can do differently?
Thanks.
