Hi Bob

I can think of a few reasons:
1. The beer was too cold and the yeast could not ferment
2. The place where the dough was left to rise was too cold – try warming up your oven at 45C and placing the bowl with the dough in there to rise
3. You’ve added the salt directly on the yeast and it killed it 🙂 Should pour the salt on one side of the bowl and the yeast on the other so it is diluted when mixed and its not killed.
4. Add a little more flour as it might be that the flour is too soft or not starchy enough for bread.

There is still hope though! Try the oven treatment in case it works…

It would not hold it’s form at all. I let it sit and it didn’t rise at all. I still have a bowl full of goo. I did use an electric mixer with a dough hook. Any thought on why it failed so bad?
