Repost: Instant Yeast Freshness Test! 🍞🥖🥨
Bread can take longer to make in cooler weather, but if you have a feeling your yeast isn't performing as well as it should be, you might like to put it to the test...
Mix together 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, & 2 tsp of instant dried yeast...
Check back at 10 & 20 minutes - has it grown? Does it look alive & bubbly? If no, it might be time to ditch it & grab a fresh batch of yeast!
I personally love the Lowan Whole Foods tube of instant dried yeast! It's $4/$5 from the supermarket & allows us to make approx 40 batches of bread dough! Don't forget to store it in the fridge or freezer ❤️
