About Yeast
- Professional bakers often use fresh compressed cake yeast which is more predictable and easy to dissolve
- Rapid-rise yeast has a different baking behavior from other types of yeast and will have a flavor that is more bland and texture that is more simple
- Active dry yeast and instant yeast can be used interchangably
- Test your yeast before baking: Add to a small cup of warm water and then add a Tbsp of sugar - If it foams, it's ready
- Yeast and the leavening process create the air pockets and sponge-like texture in bread
- Yeast activates the fermentation process, turning carbohydrates into gas (carbon dioxide) and alcohol
- Yeast is a single tiny cell nearly the same size as a human red blood cell
- Yeast is a type of fungus in the same family as the mushroom
