Today I am attempting for the third time to make a yeast bread. Whilst I have great affection for the yeast they seem less fond of me. So far I get weak rise at best.
The dough is mixed, mashed, and sitting at the heat vent. And I pretend to ignore it in hopes that the yeast will see fit to rise. Oh mighty baker's yeast - Rise I say! Rise!

Sitting at the heat vent is good. Covering with a cloth, I think, helps (I wrap an old fitted bassinette sheet around the baking sheet).
Patience--I'm always jumping the gun mid-rise, especially when I buy yeast that advertises itself as fast or super-duper.
Like everything, it takes knack.
