Hi Carole,
I have made these twice so far and I must be doing something wrong….
the first time they turned out like hockey pucks and second time was better, but I the dough still didn’t double during the first rising session. I am wondering if I didn’t use the right yeast.
First of all, is active dry yeast the same as instant yeast? I went to County Fair to see if I there was such a thing. They have bread machine yeast. That was the only variation of dry yeast at least at that grocery store. The yeast doesn’t have to dissolve in the wet ingrediants, correct? I made sure the ingrediants were at room temp. Any suggestions?
Looking forward to your next blog. Can you tell I have time on my hands??? Betsy

Betsy:
You should be able to make either yeast work. Be sure your ingredients are truly room temperature, seal your bowl well and let it rise in a warm, draft free area. When it is this cold, I warm a glass of water in the microwave for a couple of minutes to make it warm and humid, then let my dough rise in there. It takes a long time for this dough to rise but that is for a reason (flavor and texture) so be patient and let me know if you have any better luck!
