It could be a few reasons.
room temp not warm enough, not enough yeast in batch, yeast was old.
Try sitting it closer to stove with a pot of water steaming to raise the humidity in the room. Make sure there are no drafts as this can prevent it from rising. I've also used the oven @ the lowest temp possible with a pan of water in it as well to use like a proofing oven to get it to rise. If this fail start again from scratch with new yeast. Also never store your yeast in cabinet or on shelf, store it in the freezer. And pay attention to expiration dates they hold true with yeast.
Dough that does not rise properly can result in a heavy, poorly risen loaf when baked. To salvage the dough, you can roll it into a Pizza crust and either use immediately or freeze for later. Another option would be to roll it quite thin, prick it all over and sprinkle well with salt and some sort of seeds if you like (poppy, sesame, sunflower). Mark into rectangles, squares or triangles, then bake it into crackers.
Yeah, do what I'm about to do. Bake the bugger then go give it the birds :-)
Make a flat bread out it . Just roll it out as thin as you can get it and bake.
Liquid was too hot for the yeast and was killed, the dough was not kept warm enough for it to rise. Yeast was old. Any or all of these.
That is practically impossible if you know how to make bread
Try again with fresh yeast.
try again
So the bread you are making will rise and not be flat.
it activates the yeast to make it rise. otherwise you will have flat bread.
Usually flat bread doesn't contain yeast nor salt or baking powder as these are the normal ingredients which cause bread, bisquits etc. to rise and not be flat. Soft taco shells and pita pockets are forms of flat bread.
NO, Yeast is what makes bread rise so therefor it cannot have yeast.
Yeast makes the dough rise. That is why your bread is fluffy instead of just being flat.
"Without leavening, bread will not rise and stays flat."
because during the passover the people didnt have time to put leavening in their bread, which is what made the bread rise.
Jews ate their bread flat because they were in a hurry and had no time to wait for the bread to rise.
if there is no yeast in the bread the bread will not rise
It represents the haste of the Jewish slaves fleeing Egypt, and they had no time for the bread to rise, so they ate it flat.
The yeast is a living organism that creates carbon dioxide and that is what makes the bubbles that makes bread light and fluffy, there are also many breads that do not use yeast and these are called unleavened bread and are flat.
yeast With early Egyptians they didn't have risen bread but they evantuallly learned to use yeast
