    You can proof the bread in the refrigerator. It slows it down. It still rises, but slower. Cover it, too (clean dish towel or plastic wrap). The hard outer coating that forms on uncovered dough is probably what kept the first one from rising. Good luck.

    If you want to proof the bread, put it inside the oven, close the door And turn the light on . Always great blogs Ali. You are such a patient husband . You guys make a beautiful couple. You are like Kent and Barbie 🥰 That little Porter looks so cute running around the garden.😍

    You can boil water put it in a bowl then put the bowl of water in the oven. Put a tea towel on top of the dough and put it in the oven with the bowl of hot water. The oven is off. Leave to proof. Dough rises in a warm place.

    I would put the dough to rise in the oven (off), covered by a kitchen towel. If it stays in the air like that it is not going to rise.

    Proving 🤣👍🏻 if you need to leave it longer than recommended, you can put it in the fridge to slow down the proving process. But as others have said, it needs covering!

    @janwittman595 3 года назад

    To proof (or allow to "rise") bread, focaccia or any recipe with yeast, cover the pan or bowl with a kitchen towel and place in the cold oven with the light on. The light will create just enough warmth to stimulate the rising. Actually, your focaccia looked great. I've never seen it any higher. Congratulations!

  • @jennifer6833

  • @sharronr
    @sharronr 3 года назад

    Focaccia is dry because you should have covered it to keep it from drying out when you proofed it. The other possibility is your oven May be too hot or you cooked it too long. Check RUclips re proofing.

  • @lifewithcancer916
    @lifewithcancer916 3 года назад

    Your suppose to put a damp tea towel over the dough and set it in a warm place to proof. This is when the yeast ferments and causes gases. The dough will grow and and fill with gas. You literally can punch it and pop it. Sadly yours wasn’t warm enough. If the dough doesn’t rise where there is gas in the middle then you know it didn’t proof.

    You need to cover dough stop a crust forming ontop but no rise means no yeast in the dough or the yeast and salt have touched each other and salt killed the yeast.

    From a girl that fell in love with a Genoan (the city of focaccia and pesto)😋😋 I'd recommend leaving the dough in the oven (turned off) whilst proving and using a mixture of olive oil, water and salt over the top of the dough. I'll leave you the link to a very informative and interesting video of how they make it in Genoa: ruclips.net/video/uEKzIshoYiM/видео.html
