You probably have tried making bread or something that requires the dough to rise at some time or the other, but it doesn't so what do you do with the dough, throw out or turn into something else? Please culinary gurus like amaka, epi, canyon etc this is for you.

Cool air or old yeast will keep your dough from rising properly. If a bit of heat doesn't revive the yeast, you can mix a little more yeast into the dough.

#Create a warmer place for the dough: Fill a large pan with boiling water and place it in the oven on the lowest rack, or heat a mug of water for 2 minutes in a microwave.

#Place the dough (in its bowl) in the oven or microwave along with the hot water. Leave it to rise.

#If the dough still doesn't rise, add more yeast. Mix yeast from a new package with 1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) warm water and 1/2 tsp. sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foam forms, to be sure the yeast is active.

#Knead the yeast mixture into the dough.

#Leave the dough in a warm place to rise.


good luck
