Sorry about that, Joyce — it sounds like you didn't buy instant yeast, which is OK. As you noticed, active dry yeast simply takes longer to rise. Another issue might be that you measured your flour "heavy," and the dough is a bit on the stiff side; stiff dough takes longer to rise than soft dough. At any rate, by the time you read this, I'm quite sure your dough will have risen higher than it was when you put it into the fridge last night. Shape it, and let it rise again before baking; it'll take longer, since it's been chilled, but don't despair; just give it some time, and you should end up with a fine loaf. If you have any further questions, give our baker's hotline a call: 855-371-2253. Good luck! PJH
