By smacking, are you sure that the inner blister was ruptured and that
the contents were mixed by kneading for a short time. I have found
those inner packages more difficult to burst as of late. Also check the
date on the package. Allow an additional day for every month after the
manufacture date to allow for full expansion of the pack. Since you
purchased this pack in May, assuming it was fresh then, allow5 days.
You can speed the process by gently warming the pack, I set it near a
window in direct sunlight. You can also wrap it in a warm moist towel.
Just be careful to not cook the yeasties.
