Ever had a batch of dough that just wouldn’t rise — i once spent hours perfecting a sourdough recipe only for it to flop spectacularly. Turns out, my yeast had gone on an unexpected vacation. It’s funny now, but at the time I debated whether to throw it out or transform it into a ‘flatbread special’ for the day.
And i’ve definitely been there! Last month, my dough fell flat too. It’s amazing how much yeast can make or break a recipe.
I once had a similar issue with a pizza dough. I thought my yeast was fine, but I realized I’d stored it next to the fridge’s heat source — definitely a ‘no-no’. These little details can be game-changers, right, @tpayne_87?
