I sit mine on a radiator which is set to low, works every time.

Did she prove it in the fridge or just in a warm place?

Do it by hand BG. You need to be able to feel the dough, seriously my 6 year old granddaughter does it on her own now after about 5 attempts. It's all about slow and steady, touch and feel.

Oh and there is no mistake in the recipe, but I did bake it for 5 minutes longer than suggested here.

Thing with making bread is, me and my granddaughter do it together, it teaches her about food and also what yeast is and she gets to get messy (so do I) it's become a regular thing we do and have started to vary what we make. She is convinced that we should set up a stall outside and sell it.

Dunno, never used a machine. I make mine by hand because I enjoy making it by hand.

I do it the other way, yeast first but can't see why that wouldn't work.

Exactly the one I started with and mine came out perfect. Seriously, are you mixing the yeast and salt together? This will kill the yeast.

I use this. 500g Stromg Flour, 300ml warm water, 3 tablespoons Olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt. mix well to make a dough, adding the water as you go to make sure it isn't too sticky. Knead for 10 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, Leave in a warm place covered in cling film for 1 hr...

Either is good, no need to line the tin though.

Also, remember to knock the dough back after an hour of proving.

Fast action dried yeast

Did you mix the yeast and salt together? If yes the salt kills the yeast, also use slightly warm water as this will help the yeast activate. You also MUST knead the dough for at least 10 minutes.
