The aroma of bread makes a house a home – they say and I agree.
Yes, whatever the type it may, baking breads can be the most rewarding. Does homemade bread tastes better – definitely, there is no comparison of freshly baked bread!
Baking With Yeast
Here are my top 10 tips to bake with yeast successfully. If you keep the following points in mind, the chances of failure are none.
- Yeast is a living organism (yikes) and gets activated with warm water and feeds on sugar.
- Where should I keep my yeast? Since its living, its sensitive so always check for expiry and storage method. I keep mine in freezer.
- Yeast comes in many forms, granules, instant and fresh. Differences are minor, usage is a little different but the results are same. I use instant that can added directly to the dough!
- Yeast dough need warm place to rise so in winters you might want to place your dough near a stove or in an oven which has been warmed up and closed (VERY IMP). If its hot in your kitchen then you don’t need to keep it near stove and make sure you don’t over proof because it will rise very quickly!
- Use room temperature ingredients in yeast dough as with all other baking but specially this as cold ingredients can hinder in yeast activation. Liquid is however luke warm in almost all recipes.
- Remember, the consistency and quality of dough is directly proportional to the final product. Hence working towards smooth, elastic and soft dough will yield good breads.
- Don’t cut the breads while they are still hot or even warm else the steam will escape and will make the bread irreversibly chewy.
- The breads freezes well as compared to over the counter or fridge storage. You can wrap the prepared product in cling wrap and then in plastic bag and freeze. Bake in a hot oven for 10 mins when needed.
- Since commercial products add preservatives, the breads keep well for even a week. Not in our case though, therefore, consume fresh for optimal taste.
- Always cut breads with serrated knives of roller cutter in case of pizzas.
