Brioche dough won't rise
I just took a bread baking class and learned to make brioche dough. Well, my first attempt at doing it on my own has failed. ARGH! My yeast looked great and I followed the directions to the letter. The only thing that seemed different was the stickiness of the dough. In class, the dough pulled away from the walls of the food pro but mine did not. I suspect I needed more flour. Is this dough a lost cause??!!

If the bread isn't rising, your yeast may also be past it primes. I would do a test my mixing some in water with a pinch of sugar and seeing if it starts making bubbles and foam after about 10 minutes. If it doesn't get foamy, you should try with new yeast.
