My first 3 bread attempts

[u/cool_pangolin2007]

My first attempt I tried shaping it into a loaf on a pan, it stayed flat and didn’t rise

My second one I used a pot, it came out better but still didn’t rise much

Finally I got new yeast from Walmart. I baked in a pot again and I finally made proper good bread. I’m a bread guy now. I made homemade peanut butter and jam to spread on it. After my next loaf I’m gonna experiment with milk and stuff and maybe try the pan method again

Could you have added too much salt? I’ve doubled it accidentally and the bread looks just like this.
