How to check the quality of yeast when in doubt

I am sure that many housewives often have a question about how to check the quality and similarity of dredges, how to activate them and what is needed for this. Let's figure it out.

Yeast activation is a way of bringing the yeast into a working state, when the yeast becomes able to work, that is, to raise the dough after kneading.

As a rule, yeast activation is performed when you doubt its quality and performance in the dough, or if the expiration date has expired, but the yeast still looks good from the outside.

You can activate yeast in the following way:

Ingredients:

• warm water - 100 ml. warm up to 35-45 * C
• dry yeast - 1 tsp.
• white sugar - 1 tsp.
• wheat flour - 2 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

1. Pour warm water, add yeast, sugar, add flour, mix so that there are no lumps.
2. Cover the mass with a napkin and put it in a warm place for a minute. at 10-15.
3. If the yeast is active, after 10 minutes you will see a foamy cap that seems to breathe and form bubbles. If you look at the bowl from the side, you can see a thin strip of water directly below, and a foamy mass of raging active yeast above, this is also normal.
4. Yeast testing has shown that the yeast is active, working well, and can be used in baking.

In this way, you can check the activation of any yeast, dry and wet. The sequence of actions is the same.

On this yeast mass, you can immediately put the dough for bread, pies or pizza.

But, it should be noted that the above ingredients (flour, water, sugar, yeast) should be taken into account and subtracted from the total amount of ingredients that you will measure to make the dough.

Cook with pleasure and enjoy your appetite!
