Homemade Yeast Starter Take equal parts of flour and water, leave the mixture in a warm location. Then walk away and leave it along for a couple of days. When you return in a couple of days to look at it, the starter should be a frothy mixture. You'll see how the flour and water have developed. There should be some smelly water on top, and in general, you'll have a starter of wild yeast.
You don't "make" yeast, it is present lots of places. Packaged yeast is basically grown in a vat and then harvested. If you want a "natural" source, potato skins can be soaked overnight in water and that water strained and used in the making of bread. Kale when the leaves get a white color to them, the white is yeast. That to can be soaked in water and used. Depending on what is used the end product will have a slightly different flavor and success with this method is a big variable.
Active dry yeast has a larger particle size than Instant Active Dry Yeast, making it necessary to proof, usually water, before using.
Recommended water temperatures will vary by manufacturer between 100 - 115 degrees F as measured with an Instant Read Thermometer. Instant or Rapid Rise Yeast does not require warm liquid to be activated. This type of yeast has been genetically engineered from different strains of yeast to produce breads that can be made with only one rising. Rapid rise yeast is also more finely granulated than active dry yeast, so it does not need to be dissolved in water first. It can be added directly to the dry ingredients, making it a popular choice for use with bread machines. Instant active or RapidRise yeast is added to the dry ingredients. Then, the liquid portion of the recipe's ingredients, warmed to 120 - 130 degrees F, as measured with an Instant Read Thermometer, are added to make a dough.
A yeast bread is actually fairly simple to make. A fairly basicrecipe for a white yeast bread is as follows: In a small bowl or cup:
2 Tbs Yeast
2 Tbs Sugar
1/2 Cup warm (95-105 Degrees Fahrenheit
Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl:
1 Tbs Salt
6 Tbs Sugar
3 Tbs Oil (any type - doesn't matter)
3 Cups Flour
2 Cups hot Water (105 -110 Degrees Fahrenheit
Mix well and add the yeast mixture.
Add 3-4 more cups of flour and mix until dough is lightly sticky.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until dough is elastic and holds its shape well (10-15 min).
Form dough into ball and place in greased bowl. Let rise until doubled (I let it rise for an hour or more but it's a personal preference).
Punch dough down and knead again (2-5 min). Split into half and place into loaf pans. Let rise again.
You will know when the dough is ready when an indention remains when you lightly press into it with your thumb.
Bake for 20 - 25 min at 350 Degrees.
Some people test the bread by taking it out of the pan and lightly thumping it; if it sounds hollow it's done. I can't hear any difference so I use a wooden skewer and test it like you would a cake. When the skewer is clean it's done. Take out of pans and let cool.
Enjoy!!!
Yeast is a fungus used to make bread, as it digests the sugar in the flour and respires, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2).
You cannot "make yeast" using bread; this is impossible. That is like saying "How do you make Gelatin using trifle?"
Bread and Beer
Bread, beer, and wine are all made using yeast.
Yeast is necessary to make bread rise.
People started using yeast in bread because it tasted beteer!It all started in 1423 when Gerald Johnson wanted to make better bread. So he did he tried several differant ways. Finally he made yeast and everyone has known him for years. He is awesome!Does that answer your qusetion??
It help it rise they use yeast to make bread rise
yes yeast cells makes bread rise :)
Yeast makes the bread rise. This happens due to alcoholic fermentation. This is so that the yeast can reproduce. :)
You don't need yeast to make bread, but the result is unleavened bread. Yeast is a form of bacteria that produces CO2 bubbles in the dough as it consumes sugars. This makes the bread dough rise and the resultant baked bread is lighter and fluffier - leavened bread.
The leavening of bread is the ingredient which aids in the rising process. Yeast is the typical leavening agent used to make bread. Depending on the bread, there are variations of yeast to choose from including active dry yeast and quick-rise yeast.
Yeast is used as a leavening agent. The product, bread, will have a softer and lighter result
It eats the bread, it farts, and it makes the bread rise
