Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Right... this ain't worked has it. As explained (in previous post) I am making bread - sorta making up the recipe as I go. The yeast I used was the last remains of some fresh stuff I was given by a local baker. It must have been too old as after an hour - where the dough is supposed to have double in size - it hasn't grown by more than a gnat's fart.
I have plenty of dried yeast though and add about 10g to the dough and give the whole lot a quick kneed. Perhaps the fresh yeast will jump into action once the dried stuff starts it stuff and add a little extra flavour?

Active dry may not be quite so useful since it does, as Alps pointed out, need to be activated (meaning hydrated) before adding to dough to work best. A wettish dough might hydrate AD yeast enough to get away with adding it late...but that's pretty stiff looking stuff in the picture. That also means it might take a while to rise in general. How hot's the kitchen? Got a thermometer to stick in the dough?
