Well what can I say, I had another attempt at perfecting the malt loaf recipe I wanted to use at Christmas and again it failed. Basically it will not rise. I know the kitchen is cold, the whole bloody house is cold! and it’s freezing outside but I’ve not had problems with other doughs. This time I added extra yeast to it and left it to rise for FOUR HOURS and still nothing. In the end I decided to leave it overnight and if nothing happened well no great loss.
Even though I felt bad last night after dinner, guess what I did tonight? Yup I had the same thing again – well there were leftovers and I hate to waste food. I had to lie down afterwards as my stomach did not feel good so it serves me right.
