    And which is the right water temp? I’ve always used water straight from the (cold) tap. I don’t think it’s overly chlorinated, but it’s very hard water if that’s relevant.

      110-120 F. I also have hard water in my area and I’ve successfully made yeast doughs. I recommend “blooming” your yeast first even if you’re using instant yeast, which just means mixing your yeast, a bit of sugar (like a tsp per 1 packet of yeast) and the water together and letting it sit for about 10 minutes.
