I found this recipe for keto baguettes and it looks amazing. But no matter what I do I can't get the dough to rise properly, they always come out dense. Please someone help me troubleshoot this. I really want to perfect this because it has better flavor than any other keto bread I've tried. If you compare my photos (paddle attachment for reference) to the baguettes in the video you'll see mine are smaller. I'll list the recipe along with the link to the OC recipe.

I’ve tried kneading less and kneading more. Outside of that I’m not sure what the issue could be. I know my yeast isn’t the issue and temperature isn’t the issue either because I put a pot of boiling water in the oven with the dough when it proofs.
