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.
