If it's instant yeast you should see activity in the first 30 minutes. You can try feeding it a little sugar and giving it more time, if still nothing in an hour start over.

What kind of yeast you're using? Dry or fresh?

Fresh yeast doesn't do much when dissolved in water like dry does, I don't know why.

Anyway, if you're concerned, start over.

This is active dry yeast, not the rapid stuff. Wonder if the water wasn't warm enough? It smells yeasty but not quite the foaminess I expected.

The temperature should be slightly above body temperature. If you put your finger in and it doesn't feel cold, it's fine. You don't want it hot, either. Just comfortable or a little bit warm.

Good tip. I took my themopop and measured some new water as well to make sure it's where it needs to be. So gonna give it a go.

You're fine, just make your dough. Modern commercially produced active dry yeast is good for years beyond the date stamped on the packet or the jar. I've had the same jar of grocery store yeast in my fridge since 2018 because I mostly do sourdough breads. When I need to use some, I just be careful not to get moisture into the jar and return it to the fridge within a few minutes. I've never had a loaf not rise because of it.

You just live somewhere especially humid.
