Dough general

So yesterday I made some dough while being hangover as fuck, and it didn't raise a lot, which surprised me. Then today I remembered that I forgot to add sugar to the yeast solution, which is why. Is there any way to salvage the situation apart from resorting to flatbreads?

you are pretty fucked
trying to work in the sugar now is gonna do you some good but it'll never be like you would hope
either make shitty bread or go with a flatbread
Hell, go ahead and try to work in the sug just so you can try something different and maybe get so esoteric knowledge out of it

you don't need sugar to raise dough anon. the yeast will be active as long as there's water and not a fuckton of salt.

just put it somewhere warmer and be patient.

You don't need to add sugar to yeast for it to work. You might've just had dead yeast, or not enough yeast in it.

You can fix this by adding more yeast and squeezing it into the dough and trying to wait for it to proof again. Don't use the same yeast that didn't work if you're using fresh yeast.

This, I don't get why retards believe that sugar is necessary.

because that's what people have been taught when they make basic white sandwich bread. tons of old recipes (think Betty Crocker) say to "activate" the yeast with warm water and sugar.

do you say cough like "couf" or "coh"?

Haha okay so ESL. You should learn to read IPA and use wiktionary, eg https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cough
If you tell me your original language, I might be able to find a way of explaining these with your writing system. Otherwise, here:
Bough = dow, b with a short o sound and a w (IPA /baʊ/)
Cough = coff, c with a short o sound then an f (IPA /kɔf/)
Dough = doh, d with a long o sound (IPA /doʊ/)
Rough = ruff, r with a short u sound then an f (IPA /ɹʌf/)
Tough = tuff, t with a short u sound then an f (IPA /tʌf/)

only thing I can think of is to age it a bit, and use it as a starter to add to other dough that's been properly made

got drunk last night and mixed up some high hydration sourdough with caraway and sunflower seeds. i'm pleasantly surprised with out it turned out after baking today, but i'm still striving for a more open crumb.
