How to check the quality of yeast when in doubt

0

I am sure that many housewives often have questions about how to check the quality and similarity of yeast, how to activate it and what is needed for this. Let's figure it out.

Yeast activation is a way to bring yeast into a working state, when the yeast becomes capable of working, that is, raising the dough after kneading.

As a rule, yeast activation is carried out when you doubt its quality and workability in the dough, or if the expiration date has expired, but the yeast still looks good from the outside.

You can activate the yeast in the following way:

Ingredients:

• warm water – 100 ml. heat to 35-45 * C
• dry yeast – 1 tsp.
• white sugar – 1 tsp.
• wheat flour – 2 tbsp.

Preparation:

1. Pour warm water, add yeast, sugar, pour flour here, mix so that there are no lumps.
2. Cover the mass with a napkin and put in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
3. If the yeast is active, after 10 minutes you will see a foamy cap that seems to be breathing and forming bubbles. If you look at the bowl from the side, you can see a thin strip of water directly below, and a foamy mass of bubbling active yeast above, this is also normal.
4. The yeast test showed that the yeast is active, works well, and can be used in baking.

In this way, you can check the activation of any yeast, dry and wet., the sequence of actions is the same.

You can immediately put the dough for bread, pies or pizza on this yeast mass.

However, it should be noted that the ingredients listed above (flour, water, sugar, yeast) should be taken into account and subtracted from the total number of ingredients that you will measure to prepare the dough.

Cook with pleasure and bon appetit!
