[@tonyc8258]

@@MisoHungrie There could be a few reasons Maybe the water for your dough is too warm! Maybe try using more room temperature water Or it’s possible there’s still air bubbles Or finally the dough might be drying out when rising

@@MisoHungrie Salt kills yeast. In the last recipe you put yeast and then salt straight over it, basically killing your yeast. ALWAYS (pun not intended) separate salt and yeast!

[@chalmersmathew4831]

@@MisoHungrie Try blooming the yeast first, aka just put some warm water on the yeast for like 15 minutes along with some sugar. It's basically double checking that your yeast is actually alive and well. This is from a cursory google search and having seen Chef John over on the Food Wishes channel do this practice on various dough recipes. In addition, the comment about salt on the yeast could be an issue, but I've also heard that putting salt into yeast mixtures isn't necessarily the most damaging thing.

[@veraducks]

@@Ausynja This is a misconception. The amount of salt you need to kill yeast is well beyond what you use in baking and it needs prolonged exposure. A half teaspoon of coarse salt in that big dang bowl with five other ingredients isn't going to do anything negative to the yeast. The real culprit - and I've brought this up here before as this same issue happened - is the oil. Oil inhibits the hydration of both the yeast and the flour. As other say, it's best to bloom the yeast beforehand. If you wanna get fancy you can do a quick preferment by adding the yeast and flour to the water and letting it sit for at least two hours if not overnight. Works great for breadsticks.

Activate the yeast in a bit of warm liquid (from the recipe) with a bit of sugar and waiting until it is foamy, about 5 minutes, then add to the recipe. This will help a lot.

[@MisoHungrie]

Great tip! I'll try that next time 😊

[@chimeracooks]

@@MisoHungrie also don’t forget to keep salt separate from the yeast!! Add salt to your dough verrry last to make sure your yeast is nice and alive and spread out before adding in salt, or just add it far away from where you put your yeast in the bowl :-) Also make sure your water or milk is not above 100° because that will kill the yeast as well!

[@WilczycaCzarownica]

About pie with filling. I don't know why they didn't wrote about this in the book like why you shouldn't mix yeast with salt, but first you must bake a little bottom in the oven. So that the bottom doesn't rise, because without the filling it will rise, before it will be baked in the oven, you pierce the holes with a fork. The more the better. Then you cover the bottom with baking paper and cover it with dry peas, chickpeas or beans. There are also ceramic baking balls. This also will keep the bottom from rising up. When bottom became cold add chicken filling, cover with cutted dough stripes and bake it. Bottom of the pie will not be soggy. And you can do that with any sweet pie like apple pie, cherry pie etc.

A little baking tip: mix all dry ingredients together like u did, except the yeast The best way is to mix the yeast with 30-70ml warm milk/water (depends of what do you want to make), and then put it together to the dry ingredients. With this method the yeast can be better activated and the dough can rise better And never mix the salt directly to the yeast, because the yeast is a fungus and salt kinda kills it

If you're having a cold day and dough isn't rising, you can also put it in a very low temp oven and get a good summer day rise! Sometimes it could be dead yeast, bakers often test yeast by mixing a warm liquid ingredient (water/milk) + the sugar and yeast. The yeast should bloom after eating the sugars after some time, up to 30 min.

Some other points on the yeast - 1/4 tsp is a relatively small amount of yeast and 30 minutes is a very short rise time (most doughs need at least an hour). It seems like it may be a bit of a miss on the recipe's part and/or the dough just isn't supposed to rise very much!

[@proceededspy1370]

What kills yeast is to high temperature (like even higher than body temp) and salt. So add yeast and salt on the opposite sides of the bowl and lukewarm liquid. And if things haven't doubled in size in X amount of time, just let it rest a little longer. Cold rising is a thing. 🙂

Not sure if this will help you with getting stuff to rise, but for me, I turn the oven on, then keep the door open so that it cools some. Afterwards, I nuke the amount of water they want until it's steamy, put that in the bowl with just the yeast until it gets all frothy, add in the other stuff, and then do like you did with the cling wrap. (I don't follow the whole 30 minute suggestion, though. It never seems to work for me that quickly, so I usually just take an hour for it to rise) Hope this helps! Everything still looked good to me!

Bloom your yeast first before you use it in a recipe. If your yeast is just slow rather than dead, let it rise longer. There is not enough water in your recipes for chlorination being a problem. However, you may try using filtered water.

One issue I can see with your rise on the dough is that when you added the yeast you tossed the salt right on top of it. Salt can kill yeast so never add it directly to the same area of the bowl as your yeast. Also when I use dry yeast I let it bloom for 10 minutes in a bit of lukewarm milk or water before adding it to the flower.

I think your dough isn't rising because you're adding the salt directly on top of the yeaat. You need to mix the yeast, warm water & sugar in a separate bowl, set it aside to "bloom" (become bubbly), mix it into the flour, AND THEN add the salt. Otherwise, you're killing the yeast with salt and it won't rise properly. Idk why alot of recipes don't mention this. :P

[@xEzioAuditoreXD]

If you are using yeast, you need to dissolve it in water first before u get it in, otherwise it wont get its full potential and the dough cant rise.

You poured the salt on the yeast.. dead yeast. put yeast and salt at different sides of the bowl until mixing everything together to stop that happening.

[@chimeracooks]

I know people have said this, but yeah your yeast must have been dead if it wasn’t making your dough rise! But I do want to recommend a tip: my house is usually pretty cold and so I use my dryer to proof bread >:) I just turn it on for a few minutes (while it’s empty) so it gets nice and warm inside, quickly open the door to put my dough in, and then close the door. It works like a charm!! The yeast could have been killed by the salt as well, but I am assuming what you have is pretty dead ): Winderful video though! I loved the beginning and laughed out loud lmao

[@Muncaster7]

[@amuyashidecasane980]

Just a helpful suggestion. With the dry yeast add it to the warm liquid and let it bloom for a few minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients and not on top of the salt. The salt actually kills the yeast. That's why bakers place the salt on the opposite side of the yeast so it doesn't die

the only gripe i have with a lot of these cookbooks is that they don't often show you how to make food the characters would eat. instead, they show you regular food with some arts and crafts to make it look vaguely like something harrypotter-ish. like, they will tell you to make deviled eggs and go "OOOooOOoohhHHhhhHHhh, I'ts a bewitched griiiIIiiiIIiiiffon egg" The witches and wizards live in a setting that hasn't evolved since (probably) the 18th century. so the food would probably be something closer to what was eaten back then. i understand that you can't replicate lots of the foods from stuff like adventure time (since most ingredients arent sentient), and destiny (we don't have food from other planets), and warcraft (most of those species don't exist or are extinct). but i wish they would kinda try to make something that would have been eaten by thrall or bloodhoof, not regular beef stew, but they call it westfall stew.
