My homemade loaves always come out too dense. Not sure why after several times using various recipes.
Have you tried adding a little baking soda? I forget who, but someone once told me to add some for that very reason.
I've tried 1 and 2 tablespoons, guess I will just add more until it is light and fluffy enough.
Make sure to add just a little bit of lemon juice if you use baking soda. It needs the acid to properly work. Just don't use too much.
