Ingredients
Yeast
Yeast is available both fresh and dried. All the recipes in this book have been tested
using easy blend, fast action dried yeast which does not require dissolving in water first.
It is placed in a well in the flour where it is kept dry and separate from the liquid until
mixing commences.
G
For best results use dried yeast. The use of fresh yeast is not recommended as tends
to give more variable results than dried yeast. Do not use fresh yeast with the delay
timer.
If you wish to use fresh yeast note the following:
6g fresh yeast = 1tsp dried yeast
Mix the fresh yeast with 1tsp sugar and 2tbsp of the water (warm). Leave for 5
minutes until frothy.
Then add to the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
To get the best results the yeast quantity may need to be adjusted.
G
Use the amounts stated in the recipes; too much could cause the bread to over-rise
and spill over the top of the bread pan.
G
Once a sachet of yeast is opened, it should be used within 48 hours, unless stated
otherwise by the manufacturer. Re-seal after use. Resealed opened sachets can be
stored in the freezer until required.
G
Use dried yeast before its use by date, as the potency gradually deteriorates with
time.
G
You may find dried yeast, which has been manufactured especially for use in bread
machines. This will also produce good results, though you may need to adjust the
quantities recommended.
