I'd like to know if this yeast needs to be proofed before adding it to flour and other ingredients in the same way that active dry yeast needs?

This yeast does not and will not proof. If u let the dough rise/ferment in the fridge, the dough gets a little bigger. Where it does come "alive" is in the oven. The outside crust gets a bit high, but the center does not. It scared me a bit the first time, but the yeast works. As far as flavor---I didn't k=notice the difference. Was it worth it? American yeast will proof, and if u leave it in the fridge to ferment w/the dough, it will rise.....Any other questions, feel free to ask.....

Hi, I'm still trying to perfect my dough. According to eitalianfood.com, you only add the yeast to the flour along with 2 teaspoons sugar. I'm going to use honey instead of sugar. I'm making dough tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

NO. not successfully. Yeast is necessary for good bread making. This machine does a good job as is required. Alvin.

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

I'm afraid I can't help answer your question. I only bought this product once and wasn't real happy with it. I prefer the nutritional yeast flakes to the powdery consistency that this product came in, so I threw away the container many months ago. I now buy my nutritional yeast at my local co-op. Sorry I couldn't help...

No it's nonactive yeast. Its dded to foods as a nutritional supplement primarily. It will not make dough rise since yeast is not active.

This is an unusual question since the yeast is a live culture that only requires regular feedings of flour and water to survive for centuries, to be used as a starter with the other ingredients in bread baking recipes. I would suggest that she go to their website "breadtopia" that has a forum and a link to their developer, Eric (eric@breadtopia.com) and ask him, I'm sure he will answer the questions as he has mine.ps: In the book "Classic Sourdoughs" by Ed Wood, he states " Do not add anything but flour and water to your culture".

I didn't look at that booklet. From what I've found, it's really a mater of personal preference. I've used pasta recipes both ways. If there is a chemical, scientific reason, I don't know it. ...as with not adding salt directly to yeast.

You will have to let it grow. It comes delivered like a dried out tsp of dough. It comes with specific instructions on how to grow it. It's not like an instant yeast.

I never have any problem with my recipe,5 1/2 cup of flour, 2 1/2 cup of warm water, 2 tbs of yeast, 2/4 cup of sugar. The flour I use is King Arthur is the good one. I hope thus recipe help you.

The only kind of bread we have made in it is a gluten-free mix from Pamela's Products. We followed the instructions exactly(temperature, order of adding ingredients, don't let yeast touch wet ingredients) and had perfect bread every time. I'm not sure why yours isn't turning out well.

this should be absolutely fine....but I wouldn't wait much longer. Check dates on yeast packages, etc.

Yes and no.put the ingredients in one at a time in order water first and then the dry ingredients. Make a litte dent in the last thing put in and then add the yeast making sure the yeast doesn't,t get wet

Unless the ingredients specifically use the term "yeast", I am not able to identify products that may be derived from yeast. Your best bet is to write or call the manufacturer or distributor.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

Bread machine recipies work out fine, but I only use the slightly larger whole wheat yeast and no the regular yeasts. Also have to be sure to balance the ph when using rye - hence the bit or orange peel and bit of apple cider vinegar.

It is definitely NOT yeast, it's a baking powder-type product that I have used in cakes and quickbreads, such as cornbread, but definitely not for yeast bread applications.
