when the dough doesn't rise

What do you do?

I decided to roll it into long breadsticks, brush with butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and bake it anyway. 425 degrees; 15 minutes.

It must have been some bad yeast, because everything else was fairly precise. This was just an ordinary white loaf recipe that I had adapted to half whole wheat.

The kids never guessed it was a remedied situation.

So you can get a sense of scale here ...

It's like he's passing the peace pipe or something.

they look yummy!

I have to pimp the big bag of yeast from Costco now. It lasts me for 2 years in the fridge and 2 pounds of it costs about $4.50. Such a better deal than the packages - even if it went bad in a year (which it doesn't).
