I have used spring water to avoid the chlorine here killing the yeast

I have done rises in my oven here at 80 degrees to try to avoid the humidity

First rise looks great but second just doesn't arrive

I'm using using Fleishshman instant yeast. I use a different brand back home.

Just trying to make some nice bread here to give to my new neighbours. So far best bet is to visit Publix and donate their bread Any ideas?
Use bread flour, make sure your liquids are not cold and rise at higher temp than 80. More like 160. This tap water is not an issue. Also check your yeast to flour ratio ; maybe too low
