I've also learned that I need to be more careful about yeast expiration dates. I don't bake break often but there truly isn't anything that tastes better. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll master it!<br /><br />Oh...and a tip from my son. Put your dough on top of the frig to rise on the cooler days. It's always a bit warmer up there.Jackie's Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728521317964661942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096884093716686564.post-78437007819147808712011-02-09T19:16:32.703-08:002011-02-09T19:16:32.703-08:00This is funny, but you've got to ditch that fr...This is funny, but you've got to ditch that frozen bread dough, lol. I can make bread with no problems at all. Just can't eat it! Dang, and I love bread but it doesn't love me. I think you should get yourself a thermometer and learn to proof yeast and then you'll be golden...like a fresh baked loaf of bread, lol. :-DKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953124220818985910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096884093716686564.post-40707529577881734612011-02-09T15:38:11.834-08:002011-02-09T15:38:11.834-08:00Yep......that's what happens to me to!

I now use a mix that I swear by! I've gotten over my insistence in not using prepared stuff. It's Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix. I can make dinner rolls, sweet rolls or pizza dough with it! I think I'll blog about it some day. I love it THAT MUCH!!Peggy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719096552002968247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096884093716686564.post-9935042452798369322011-02-09T10:32:29.186-08:002011-02-09T10:32:29.186-08:00Oh, Shannon, try putting everything in at once. Y...Oh, Shannon, try putting everything in at once. Yes, the unproofed yeast too. You won't kill it, and the little critters don't need that perfect temp. bath to wake up. You won't kill it and it will rise. <br /><br />If you are using jarred yeast you should probably make sure you haven't gone past the expiration date from opening, but the packaged yeast is usually very shelf stable and viable. Hope this keeps things from going a-rye again and reduces the stress. Isn't that why we bake? :-)Halland House Giftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131214724820941159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096884093716686564.post-76111190085035164372011-02-09T10:16:10.913-08:002011-02-09T10:16:10.913-08:00Oh, do I feel your pain.

I had my husband fooled for a while, but no longer! :o) Someone told me about a book called Kneadlessly Simple and I picked up a copy but haven't tried anything in it yet. One of these days.....when I get my never up!! Don't give up though - you'll get it!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.com
