And should that water also be degrees? Hi Mike, these days active dry yeast and instant yeast are formulated very similarly and we say that you can add the active dry yeast right in with the flour without activating it first, but it certainly won't hurt to activate or proof your yeast in a small amount of lukewarm water before adding it into the mix, which will get it off to a quicker start. Once activated, you can add it in with the water or the flour, it really won't matter.
I would subtract this water from the g of water called for in the recipe. One advantage of activating this type of yeast in this way is that it gives you the option to use cooler water for the remaining dough water, if you happen to be baking on a warm day.
Ideally you're aiming for a dough temperature of between F after mixing and kneading is complete, so being strategic about the water temperature can help you achieve that desired temperature range, which can lead to more consistent results.
Check out our Desired Dough Temperature blog for more information about this. Does this mean it is an instant yeast or just a fast rise active dry yeast.
HI Booda. We are not familiar with the term Highly Active when it comes to yeast but our best guess would be that is is raid-rise yeast. Happy Baking! However, my BM went on the blink, so had to make do doing the whole thing by hand. And I loooved it!! I now use only ADY but not sure at which stage I add it to the rest of the ingredients and at which step in the process? Hi Lois, for active dry yeast, I would recommend adding this to the liquid in your recipe and letting it sit for minutes before adding the dry ingredients.
If using organic sugar to activate the yeast, will it work the same in the proofing as it would with refined sugar? Hi Elizabeth, if the sugar you're using is larger in crystal size it may take longer for it to dissolve, so you may need to allow the yeast a little more time to activate. Or you could let the sugar dissolve first in warmer liquid and then cool down the liquid enough so that it won't harm the yeast.
I'd say cool to at least F. Thank you for this article! I was about to make croissants for the first time and was confused- most recipes call for active dry yeast without dissolving it in water first, but as you mentioned the back of the packet says you have to.
This definitely eased my worries! Thank you so much. Have been very frightened of baking. Create a personalised content profile. Measure ad performance.

Aaronut Are you using RapidRise yeast, which is listed as for bread machines? If so, that's instant yeast, not active dry. Here is a picture: photos Link to product: redstaryeast. Add a comment.

When we found a jar of active dry yeast in the freezer that was three years old, proofing was vital to discover that the yeast was dead. What is Yeast? If the yeast is dead, no amount of environment will help it become a productive leavening agent. You can use this method to test active dry yeast or fresh yeast. Fresh yeast is more perishable and should definitely be tested if you haven't used ti in a while.
Heat the water to approximately degrees F 40 degrees C. We recommend testing the water temperature using a thermometer. Once you've done this a few times, you'll get a natural feel for how warm the water should be without being too hot to kill the yeast culture.
