I want to love the yeast, I really do. I respect it. I love it. I tell it how wonderful it is and how much I appreciate it. (I treat it like a snobby cat, for heaven's sake!) I can never get it to do what it is supposed to do.
My kitchen isn't particularly cold, drafty or antiseptic. My yeast is new, I follow the temps to the letter, I buy the "good" flour, I do everything save make it dinner and take it to bed. Of note, everything else I bake is **fabulous** (other people's words, not mine).
I get SOME results, but it's always as if the yeast had another more important thing to do and just phoned in the effort.
Any suggestions for someone who desperately wants to have success but so far has not been able to achieve it?
