Thanks again for a great recipe. Hubby told me mid afternoon about a food day tomorrow. Yikes he wanted the foccicia... with the starter and 5 hour rise, so not going to happen. Then I remembered the blog and the blitz. Thanks he LOVES it! My yeast must be getting old I am just not getting the rise on these flat breads. It works great in the starters, could it be something else I am flubbing? Thanks Jana Hi Jana - Are you using instant yeast or active dry (NOT RapidRise) in your starter breads? Fast-acting yeasts poop out and can't manage a l ong haul of overnight or multiple rises... But if you're having trouble with the rise in the Blitz Bread, then yeah, your yeast might just be old and tired. Try SAF Red - it's the one we use in the test kitchen. Cheers - PJH
