    Questions About Yeast?

    One of the questions which I often get is Why my bread is not rising. Why my dough is not doubling up. Why my bread is dense.

    How to Activate Yeast

    • Take warm water in a bowl. Use Luke warm water. Dip your finger in the water and it should be very warm. Just like a warm bath water.
    • sprinkle little sweetness like sugar, honey. Because yeast loves warm and sweet environment.
    • now sprinkle yeast over it. I use dry yeast.
    • leave aside for 5 mins to activate. The yeast mix should be bubbly and foamy. This means yeast is activated.

    If your mixture doesn't look foamy.

    1)Then you must have added yeast to too hot water so the yeast has died.

    2)You have used cold water so yeast didn't activated.

    3)Your yeast is expired. Always store yeast in freezer in an air right cont
