Riddle me this: Why does it take four hours of rising to end up with a product that has the consistency and texture of pizza dough?

My goodness that seems a long time...I don't cook anything with yeast so sorry can't help on that.
I don't make things that have to rise, so I have no idea. But I love the looks of your focaccia. It sounds wonderful,too. BTW, I would have substituted feta for goat cheese, too.
Hmmm.
It is a while since I have cooked with yeast. Didn't rise enough?
And yes, I would use feta too.
It looks divine, but I have no idea why t takes so long. Have a good week, hugs, Valerie
I don't cook yeast either I'm afraid Sandra, it was lovely to read and look at what you have cooked.
Yvonne.
It looks delicious but I bake as little as possible, so I can't help with your query, sorry.
But how did it taste? The ingredients and texture of the dough sound like the oddest mix ever.
Don't ask me. I thought feta is goat cheese.
Usually focaccia is quicker to rise
Gee, bread usually has a 60 min. first rise, and a 60 min. second rise before baking. The foccaccia recipes I've done only have 1 rise time.
I love yeast cakes that my mom made. It does take forever to make the dough but this sounds good. I wonder if this turned out the right way because the dough should be lighter or am I talking out of my butt? How was the actual taste?
How did it taste? I'm horrible with any type of old-fashioned cooking. Usually there's a Pillsbury pre-made dough item for whatever I'm making...IF I bake.
Sounds like way too much waiting for me.
I wish I could answer that. But it looks like it was worth the wait!
I use it about once every ten years. Ha. It was actually 4 hrs of rising with a total of 6 hrs. to make.
:) Goat cheese is just too rich for me.
It's a flat bread so it rose fine. I just don't understand why a flat bread needs so much rising time...
Sandra, it turned out quite beautiful. I used to bake and was very good at it. I baked for a book store and tea room, but burned out. I no longer enjoy cooking and the family and friends can't understand why.
Me either. Why do you need rise time for a flat bread?:)
Hugs back,
Thanks, Yvonne. Appreciate it:)
Thanks, Barbara. I don't bake often either.
It tasted fine. I was hoping for a bit more sweet/salty taste. But it had very little sweet in the flavor.
Maybe the yeast was no longer any good. That can really affect the rising time.
Hope it tasted good!
You aren't wrong, Andrew. It can be goat, sheep, cow or buffalo....
This is the first time I've ever made Focaccia and this recipe had 3 different rise points, which again, I find odd for a flat bread. I don't understand.........:)
Hi CJ,
I've never made it before and it had 3 rises. Why....I have no idea:)
Maybe...It's a flat bread. The taste was fine, though I was hoping for a little sweeter.
It tasted fine. I was hoping for a little sweeter, but it had a nice flavor.
98% of the time I'm right there with you on premade. No wait...make that 99% of the time:)
Ha. I won't argue with that.
You had to have been good to bake for a book store and tea room, Donna.
I was in college food services for many years and can completely relate to burn out.
Hugs
No I am not a baker, Yeast! For sure I won't bake if required! I am more into eating desserts but as of Jan./17 I am off them..feeling better as a result! Now goat cheese I love! The harder cheeses my fav. Have a sweet savoury week!
You never know with yeast do ya?
It is a flat bread and it rose to the consistency it was supposed to.
It tasted good:)
Glad giving up sweets is working for ya. That's great.
That's a long time? I can't help you with your question Sandra, sorry! But, I have to say, it looks really good! Big Hugs!
