I alway add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to help the yeast bloom. I live at a very high altitude and the air here is very dry. Hydration is always a problem when it comes to baking bread. But this recipe doesn’t ever fail me.
Ratio of fat/flour to liquid is off on this recipe use 2 cups water and 2 tsp bouillon for regular gravy thickness without having to fight it out with water and flour.
