Blooming your yeast will give it a good head start and adding a touch of sugar will help get it going too. The sugar and salt balance each out.

I made pizza dough once that i added too much salt to. They looked more like tortillas when they came out of the oven!


That's funny! I've made a lot of those tortillas, too. I mean A LOT!

I got a four loaf batch resting nicely on the sideboard right now, thanks to everyone's yeast advice. [deep bow] Thank Yew!

Mmmmm.... fresh bread with bison stew tonight, and a tart spinach salad with Honey Crisp apples and Pt. Reyes Blue.
