King Cake Question
Jesse–
I’ve tried making your king cake twice now and it just doesn’t work. The dough never rises. You say it’s easy to work with but I disagree. Someone else had the same problem and you advised using a bench scraper to transfer the dough to the baking sheet. I don’t think you understood their question. It was the recipe not working, not an equipment failure.

I feel your pain and I know the solution. Last year when I tried following my own recipe it came out poorly. This year, it was a joy. the difference? the yeast. This recipe requires instant yeast–not just active dry. Exactly why, I don’t know–but I can vouch for the difference. Sorry for the confusion, and happy Mardi Gras!
