can too much yeast make bread dense?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Bread.com FAQ : One Thread

i was trying to make kaiser rolls, but they weren't fluffy and high as i woud like them to be....so i added double the yeast and they came out so dense...i scaled them out at 6 oz. and i bake them at 350 for 12 minutes with 20% steam, then i turn the rolls and bake for another 8 minutes. I also use just a basic egg dough recipe wth some added herbs. I need to make a light fluffy kaiser roll in large amounts can you help?
