right,

thinking back, the yeast i used, it has several sachets in the pack and i used one that was already open, so it could've been that perhaps?

followed the recipe and its been sat for 2 hours 15 minutes, and im not sure its risen much. texture has changed though, its not sloppy any more, its more like a gummy consistency now. should i be worried that it hasnt risen yet?

been over 3 hours now, hasn't risen at all really, consistency is thick not sloppy, but very sticky to the touch. dunno what i've done wrong...
