If you're using water...
Try increasing the water amount. You might start with 70% water to
flour. If you find this works you can work your way up to 100% or more
and you should have a very light loaf.

Letting the bread rise longer doesn't make the bread lighter exactly
but it makes the loaf bigger ! Don't let it go too long!!!
