Hi Trina, we're surprised to hear that your yeast didn't dissolve readily. It's usually a fine practice to add either instant or active dry yeast directly to the dry ingredients without dissolving or "proofing" it first. (Check out this article on our blog that compares dissolved vs. non dissolved yeast in dough side-by-side.) We think your dough should look fine by the time you check on it tomorrow, but in the future you could try proofing your yeast until you finish the batch you currently have. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
