A great way to help your yeast is sugar. If you mix in some sugar while you mix the yeast it gives the yeast energy and helps to ensure a great rise. Also you did do this right but everyone should make sure to mix in your salt with the flour. Don’t mix in the salt before the flour because the salts molecular make up actually has very sharp edges and can kill your yeast. Basically to make your yeast/bread rise you need three things warmth, moisture, and energy. The sugar is your energy then you can get warmth from the oven yes but also to help is moisture. Always cover your dough and if you are really fortunate to have one a proofing box would be ideal.

We, too love all things Italian. One thing we love is how food is not bad, like carbohydrates being bad for you. The one thing we all love, they embrace with no guilt. Lovely!
