Forgot my yeast - now what

Using the FWSY white bread with poolish recipe.

I done three folds and the after about 2.5 hours of bulk fermentation I realized I did not add the 3 grams of yeast in the final mix?

what now? Go with it? Bulk longer? 

some rise but not double for sure.

But it'll take a lot longer. If you have the time then wait. If not then you can add the yeast at any stage.

I decided to add yeast and let it go a little longer.

This will be interesting.

I would dissolve the yeast in a little warm water and then incorporate it into the dough with stretch and folds.

I did only let it cool for about an 90 minutes before slicing and eating with dinner. It was delicious. Disaster averted. I love that my mistakes are still delicious.
