Bread Making Tip

[Willy]

Here's a quick and easy tip for you bread makers out there: If your dough seems to be rising far too slowly, you might ask yourself if you forgot to add the yeast...

This actually happened to a, a, er, um,... a friend of mine! Yeah, that's the ticket. A friend!

Your friend left out the most important ingredient.🙀

I set ALL of my ingredients out on the counter top before any mixing activity begins.😎

Your dough will do just fine. An autolyse without yeast is actually very common. Your friend did the right thing if he kept his hydration the same.👍

Breadhead Hydration was by eye/feel after knowing what the dough was like minus yeast. It's a brioche style and I suspect somewhat forgiving--eggs, butter, sugar, plus 3/4 pound of cubed cheese. It rose well and is now rising again.

Sounds like you're, your friend, is making all the right moves. Take pictures.👍

It's good to "rise up" and move on to the next batch!
