When the Dough Doesn't Rise

Today I finally tried to conquer the sweet potato doughnuts ... let's just say ... they turned out more like sweet potato cookies. I couldn't get the dough to rise, I don't know if I just didn't have them in a warm enough spot, I didn't mix the dough enough, or some other explanation. Alas, it was my first F&W cooking failure. As cookies, they don't taste bad, they just definitely aren't fluffy, carb-graving fulfillment.

However, I am not going to let this deter me from my other bread challenge today. I am attempting a rosemary peasant bread. I kneaded it for ten minutes, per the instructions and have it sitting in a nice warm spot so that it gets all fluffy and doughy. Here's to attempt two of the day!
