The bread was perfectly fine, and the yeast was way way past it's date as well. The vast majority of these dates have no value in fact.

The interaction of salt and sugar with leavening agents such as yeast and with the gluten in the flour can affect the rise of the product and the finished texture. Baking is a science. A small change in proportion can have a big effect.

True percentage in baking is the more logical and "mathematical" method of calculating a percentage- the way you are taught in school!!
