Warm water is fine, about the same as body temp, if it's too hot it will kill the yeast.

How do you dissolve dry yeast in water?

Your recipe should indicate where and how to add the yeast, but yeast does not dissolve well in milk (if at all). Yeast forms into large clumps when mixed directly with milk and will take much longer to activate. I made this mistake the first time I tried to substitute milk for water when making bread. The usual way of adding yeast to such a recipe is to fully dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit). If the water is not warm enough, it won't activate the yeast and if it's too warm, it can kill the yeast. One of my colleagues proofs the yeast in the usual way (1/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp yeast), then adds the rest of the yeast to the water, mixes the dry ingredients with the milk for the recipe, then adds the water-yeast mixture to that. He claims that it works perfectly. Of course, if you use 1/4 cup of water to dissolve your yeast, subtract 1/4 cup of milk from the recipe unless otherwise indicated. And also make sure you're using the proper yeast for whatever it is you are baking.


Why do you use warm water in bread making?

If the water is too hot, it kills the yeast. It stops working and therefore wouldn't make the bread rise. If the water was too cold, it wouldn't do anything to the bread. If you use warm water, however, then it gives enough energy to help the yeast work so that the bread can rise, making you're loaf.

My quick rise yeast's packet said best if used by November 2008 is it still okay to use for pizza dough?

Put a little of the yeast in a glass of warm water. If you see tiny bubbles, the yeast is still good. If not, adding the dead yeast will not make the dough rise.


What can you use instead of instant dry Yeats?

You can use active dry yeast as a substitute for instant dry yeast. However, you will need to dissolve it in warm water before adding it to your recipe. Another option is using fresh yeast, but be sure to adjust the quantity as it is not as concentrated as dry yeast.


Does hot water make yeast rise?

Yes, hot water can activate yeast and help it to rise. The ideal temperature for yeast activation is around 100-110°F (37-43°C). However, water that is too hot can kill the yeast, so it's important to use a thermometer to check the temperature before adding it to the yeast.


Why let the yeast rest in a bowl with water and sugar in a warm place?

it activates the yeast and without it the yeast wouldn't rise


Why the mixture is cooled before adding yeast when preparing?

Too much heat will kill off the yeast cells. They need to be added to a warm (not hot) mixture.
