Success With Yeast - July 14, 2009 - Daily Family Friendly Tips
Today's Tip:
Success With Yeast
Following these guidelines can help insure the
desired results when using dry active yeast.
-Start with fresh yeast. It has a very short life
span. Buy small amounts and always check
the expiration date before using.
-If you refrigerate yeast, always allow it to
return to room temperature before adding
it to water.
-The water temperature in which the yeast is
activated is very important. Too hot, and the
yeast may be killed (it is a living, single-cell
organism). Too cold, and it doesn't respond.
An instant-read thermometer is a necessity.
The temperature should be between 105 and
115 degrees.
-Use the correct amount. Most packaging
includes simple measurement conversion
information.
-Allow your yeast dough to rise in a draft-free
area that is between 70 and 85 degrees.
