← Replies in Overnight Focaccia Recipe

I’ve made it 3 times and the first time was good, not great because it didn’t bubble like yours does. The second two didn’t grow at all. In fact, I have one covered right now waiting for it to come to room temperature, but it shows no signs of any yeast activity. Do you recommend a certain brand of yeast? I’m so disappointed, but I’m not giving up! I’m a very good cook and I rarely fail at any recipe, but this one has me going crazy. Please help if you can!

Did you proof the yeast?

Hello! So sorry it’s not been a success yet. What type of flour are you using? Is it bread flour? Is the yeast instant yeast or active dry yeast? The active dry yeast requires activation first where the instant yeast can be added in without that extra step. When did you open your packet or yeast (is it well within expiry?) - it will die over time!

probably old yeast.
