Yeast, kneading and me...not doing so well. These turned out dark, dense, dry..and they looked and hefted like baseballs, raisin-studded, dark brown baseballs. I gnawed at one and the rest will probably feed some less critical birds. The flavor, once I softened it up as I chewed and chewed, was quite good, but it was way way too much work to get at the taste. I will keep working at this, as there are certain to be more yeast recipes. My yeast doesn't get "foamy" as it sits in warm water; the raisins kept escaping as I kneaded, which was HARD work; the two risings were mostly in my imagination. I need some advice... I know, I know, the photo looks pretty good but they needed to lighten up...
