What if your flat bread doesn't rise?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Yeah, do what I'm about to do. Bake the bugger then go give it the birds :-)

Answer 4

Make a flat bread out it . Just roll it out as thin as you can get it and bake.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

That is practically impossible if you know how to make bread

Answer 7

Try again with fresh yeast.

Answer 8
