I attempted to make some bread by hand today and it hasn't risen in the 1st proofing stage. I would hate to have to just throw it away, is there anything I can do with it?

Bread and Butter pudding?

Fruball

Pop it in the airing cupboard and see if it rises...

How long did you prove it for? Was the yeast old? Water too hot?

Shape it into some sort of flat bread - naan, pitta, foccaccia

That's what I did last time I had a dough failure!

I just sprinkled a bit of olive oil and top and some herbs.

Hey presto - Flat bread :rotfl::rotfl:

I have just got my new kenwood to replace my very very old one that doesnt work anymore (:D and ) I suppose

I have just made some granary bread dough, with 450g flour, so presume I bake it in a 1lb tin? But my recipe is for a freeform loaf, but I do want to do it in a tin. How long should a loaf take? I am leaving the dough to rise in my not very hot kitchen for a few hours, will knock back and reknead in kenwood later then shape and prove?

Its only my 3rd or so attempt at bread, have always used the breadmaker up til know, but prefer more "real" bread. have the rover cottage sourdough starter on the go at the moment

in my breadmaker book it has the oven times and temps if i wanted to finish it in the oven does yours have them may be worth a look
