making instant yeast rise higher/more
I make a relatively quick oatmeal bread (with bread, whole wheat flours and old-fashioned oatmeal); it calls for instant/fast rise yeast. I am wondering how to make it rise a bit more than it does....
Best Answer
That depends whether it still needs to be 'quick'. You can autolyse your flour, which will help the bread to rise. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2017/09/29/using-the-autolyse-method This is just adding water to the flour - no yeast - then adding the yeast later in the process.
However this will add time.
You can possibly increase temperature, i.e. use a warm place. Essentially your yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol (which burns off). The carbon dioxide gas makes the loaf rise. Your yeast species probably works fastest around 32-35C.

A lower temperature will mean slower activity, so everything else being equal 1 hour at 32C will give much more gas than 1 hour at 25C. Fast rises can lead to voids in the loaf, so that's something to bear in mind.
If your bread has no added sugar (you don't mention this), then the yeast will not have much to work on. Your options here are to add (more) sugar or to add a flour improver containing amylase, which breaks down the complex carbohydrates in flour into sugar. Other flour improvers contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which helps strengthen the gluten network.

Quick Answer about "making instant yeast rise higher/more"
Adding 2 tablespoons instant dry milk powder per loaf of bread will help your bread rise higher, stay soft, and hold the moisture longer. That means it won't get stale as quickly.How do you increase instant yeast?
Is that true? You can increase the size of most bread recipes by simply doubling, tripling, etc. all of the ingredients, including the yeast. Depending on the recipe and rising time, you may use as little as 1 teaspoon, or up to 2 1/4 teaspoons (sometimes more) of instant yeast per pound (about 4 cups) of flour.Can you double rise instant yeast?
Instant yeast (Fast-rising or Fast-acting) It requires two rise steps but compared to active dry yeast, it's quicker, as the fermentation time is about half. Quick rolls, cinnamon rolls, flatbreads, sandwich bread, donuts, rolls, anything with a shorter rise time.Does instant yeast take longer to rise?
The liquid was too hot, or not hot enough. It will usually tell you to use \u201cwarm\u201d water. The water temperature should be between 110 - 115 F degrees. If your liquid is too hot (i.e. boiling) it will kill the yeast and prevent the rise. If it's not hot enough, the yeast won't have the heat needed to bloom.THE SECRET OF DOUGH RISE FASTER IN JUST A FEW MINUTES

Answer 2
One thing that limits the effective rise is if you knock any air out of the dough late in the process. This means you should avoid transferring it between containers after the final rise. This is especially true for high hydration doughs. That's a problem if you rely on baking in a preheated dish.
Answer 3
One thing is if you have yeast, give it 30 minutes to settle in water before adding to the dough. Give it a chance to proliferate.
