Best Answer

When sourdough bread dough does not rise it is because the yeast is either dead or inactive. Yeast may become inactive if kept in a very cold place, like a freezer.

Assuming you're making your bread dough at room temperature, though, chances are either that you haven't given it enough time to rise, or that somehow your yeast was killed through starvation, excess heat, excess salt, or some other mishap.

You should always proof your yeast prior to mixing your dough. If it is not bubbling actively, don't bother using it.
