PJ .. Just had to tell you about my trauma-based Maple Bread....Last evening I HAD to make up a batch.. too late to bake so I planned to frig it overnight.. It turned out to be a lump of dough (no rise to it) and I refused to toss it.. This a.m. I placed warm water (1/4cup) in the machine added a tea. yeast, sprinkle of sugar, milk power and gluten...
The dough (cold) I rolled into a log and cut it up with a pizza cutter and dumped it in the machine and ran it thru dough cycle. Voila.. it did rise this morning and now it's in the oven to rise again and bake.. thought this may help newer bakers.. You don't have to toss it if it doesn't rise just re-do it
Absolutely right, Elizabeth - yeast dough is oh-so-forgiving, contrary to popular belief. Kudos to you for figuring out a solution! PJH
