inCan we talk about the sudden yeast failure around here?
Totally feel that "assumed her kneading was off" part. It's wild how many recipes just say "add yeast" without telling you to PROOF it first in warm water. Like, they skip the one step that catches dead yeast before you waste everything else. My go-to bread book from the 90s never mentions it, so a whole generation might be blaming their skills. Recipe writers should really make that step non-optional.
