This sort of thing has happened before but not for a long time…
The dough basically doesn’t rise in the bowl or the bread pan at all. Stuck with the option of throwing it away or baking it and seeing what will happen I elect to waste some time and propane, and this is the result. Would have been better off not baking it.
What did I do wrong? Probably I absently failed to include some ingredient. Nothing came to mind but I was a little hung over at the time. Anyway: This was useless so it fed the birds and I tried again…
Happily it was a bright sunny day so it didn’t hit my batteries at all. And this one came out fine. Exactly the same recipe. Sometimes life is an adventure, if by adventure I mean sometimes I screw things up for no apparent reason.
How old is your yeast? Have seen this when the stuff is well past date and tends not to raise.
Otherwise, happy fat birds (and probably mice and rats). 😉
Maybe proof the yeast in a little bowl of warm water to make sure it’s doing yeasty things?
