Two lots of bread failing to rise. Usual recipe so quite surprised. I checked the yeast and still in date so not sure what the issue is. Any members of the WI (or other equaly accomplished bakers) can give some light on this mystery please  |

"Have you tried gently rubbing the side of the baking tin, whispering how much you want it in your mouth? "

It's probably the temperature have you got a proving setting on your oven? Failing that it could just be bad yeast. |

"Water too hot? Leave it to prove uncovered, so it got a bit dry on the outside?
Is leaving it uncovered a suggestion or a reason?
A reason, it will dry out."
