How to Proof Active Dry Yeast

[@princess1818ib]

for everyone's info, those yeast that come in packets have a tendency to not work. if you want better results, get the yeast in the glass bottle...

[@dcaroundtheworld18]

Lily Rose thank you ! I've been trying to do active yeast in those packets and fail like 10 times I guess it makes sense anyways thank you

[@user-hr1hj8ll7k]

Dry yeast needs proofing, ie 1 sachet of yeast, 30ml warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl. Give it 10-15 mins to thicken and froth.👍

[@gavinchurch6109]

Stop use I g tap water with chlorine and they will work just fine distilled water or well water or highly filtered water works just finelol

[@williamwilson6499]

L D That’s what the video is about, Captain Obvious.

[@jackip2ava]

@@user-hr1hj8ll7k do I throw away the proofed yeast and mix in a dry scoop out of the jar?

[@princess1818ib]

it finally worked for me!!! I had been trying to proof my yeast and went through 10 little packets and non foamed. I ended up getting the yeast that comes in a glass bottle and it foamed so beautifully. So my guess is that I had a bad batch or was doing it wrong with other mixtures and this one worked! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@enterprisefortmyers1389]

This yeast sucks. I’m on my third jar. None will activate

[@caraea2314]

If it isn’t foaming try microwaving it a bit, as the temperature may not be hot enough (even if your thermometer says it is). I thought mine was, but the yeast wasn’t doing much of anything, so I microwaved the mixture in increments until I saw some foaming action, then microwaved it a bit more as it didn’t seem like enough, and now it’s foaming pretty well. Worth a shot before you throw it out.

[@wagmytail2007]

I've been trying all weekend to make bread to no avail. Thank you for this video, I proofed my yeast and mixed the dough. One hour and bang!!!!! The dough doubled!!!! Yeahhhh Thank you again

[@yahoo.com07]

Thank you for sharing this and yes, yeast really is, in fact, alive. It's a one-celled member of the fungus family, and when you add water to it and give it a little sugar for food, the organism "burps" and releases carbon dioxide-the gas that makes the bag puff out and makes sodas fizzy and bread fluffy.

[@realtalk8813]

I've gained enough confidence to finally try this. I just ordered the candy molds and some gelatin. Hope it works so I don't have to buy candy anymore 🙏🏾❤️

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

It would’ve been useful to show up close what these looks like when it’s proofed or when it’s not.

[@lindabrown7374]

I have never had a problem with yeast. I used to buy it it the packets, but now purchase it in the jars as it is so much cheaper.

[@marydawkins4190]

I am so baffled by this brand of yeast. I used to make breads and bagels all the time in my 20s and 30s and never had a problem with dead yeast from the packets. NOW, it seems that it's always dead. I'm going to try the warmer water and the sugar. But, if that doesn't work I'm done with Fleischmans.

[@koolerkokakoala]

Thank goodness I checked this video. The first packet I used was dead and I wasnt sure if that was how its supposed to be. Fortunately the second packet was alive 😅

[@charlesarthur1014]

Excellent. Well spoken and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@guerilla2013]

Best video. Short and informative. I don’t need a cute story or your name.

[@crightnawler6552]

I ferment mash for whiskey with this. Distills well. Just pitch it and stir. No hydrate. Or sprinkle it in.

[@Cathy.C.]

Thanks, short, sweet and to the point!

[@mike-tha-real]

Got active dry yeast instead of instant yeast for my pizza. Used this after the dry mix and it came out pretty good. Tnx for the video

[@ShalamarMonae]

i tried 6 packets and none of them activated -__-

[@subparcrow]

They’re ded

[@kjvonly2451]

Yep, on my 5th one now😡

[@ourlifelivingingermany3362]

I guess they’re already expired ! Atleast 2 months the minimum usage of yeast !

[@100PercentOS2]

Thank you for this great advice and video. I haven't been using Active Dry Yeast properly and will be changing my methods since I was getting yeasty tasting bread. I can sure see where the proofed yeast also need to be well mixed with the dry ingredients.

[@vshadafly]

omg i used to love watching this happens when my mom would make bread

[@chrisgregory8100]

seriously good advice tyvm,where i live we dont have that product but similar,again ty :-)

[@WoundedEgo]

I've been buying the Fleischmann's in the bottle. I had good luck with it in the past but I recently made some bread and it was a flop because of the yeast so I proofed it and it was performing horribly. I set it in front of my space heater such that it warmed it (without getting it hot) constantly and it eventually got active just enough that I thought I'd give it a shot. I'll let you know what the result is. I think most of the yeast was dead but some were hanging on.

[@WoundedEgo]

It seems to be rising nicely.

[@princess1818ib]

+William Ross the bottle also says to refrigerate and use within 6 months after opening. that could've been the culprit.

[@bammbamm12]

I assume you're going to add this proofed yeast to your flour? If so, do you deduct the amount of water used in proofing the yeast from the amount of water they tell you to add to the flour?

[@madyguindin9978]

How come we dont have fresh yeast like they do in europe?

[@NurseEmilie]

I've tried 6 times to make a soft yeast bread. At first I used Walmart's brand - it never bubbled.
So finally I bought some Fleischmann's active dry yeast and it never bubbled. All the yeast was
in date by far, but it never bubbled. I have no clue what else to try. I've used active dry yeast
in the past and it bubbled.

[@caraea2314]

It’s possible your thermometer (if you’re using one) isn’t reading correctly. I thought mine was at an acceptable temperature, but not much was happening, so I decided to microwave the mixture in increments (start small) to see if that would work, and I got some foaming/bubbling action.

[@Rob-cz9ji]

Thanks for this. I’m getting so aggravated lately because every yeast I buy is dead. Even though it’s unopened and not expired it is not active. I can’t seem to find one that actually works. Wtf!

[@pozelenore880]

is it radiated in shipping? A lot of things are ....sad but true

[@nimramohamederol]

What other sweetner could i use possibly ? I don't buy sugar so no sugar available.

[@karimonster]

Sorry, Fleischmann's. Its not that rare for your yeast to be dead. I made the mistake of buying Fleischmann's again this week and kicking myself for it. An entire jar of yeast completely dead in the water.

[@elle2368]

what about when the recipe calls for 1 and 1/4 c water? Just add the proportionate yeast amount? It just seams like a lot of yeast to use

[@dreamlover4128]

I couldn't help but giggle as I browsed through the comments. The aspiring baker in us can't even get the yeast to poof. I suddenly have a craving for sausage rolls and have all the ingredients, except the stupid yeast is DEAD! Now, it's Shabbat and I have to wait till the evening to go to the store and get a new pack of yeast so, I can make my rolls 😣

[@unidad7873]

Thank you

[@NavaEEarls]

i can never get it to proof. it is brand new yeast which i keep refrigeratedd as per instructions. can we perhaps just sub all active dry yeast ingredients with instant yeast instead??

[@pawsnclawsOG]

it only needs to be refrigerated after it's been opened. Don't know if OP meant this but confused me until I looked it up. ;)

[@digitimz]

Worked for me. Massive foaming. Been using milk before now

[@AC_Lerok]

I assume you're working on the Fahrenheit scale....???

[@richanddarksbane1439]

Wtf 110°c is not ok

[@DreginyReacts]

I'm making a bread recipe that calls only for 1/4 tsp. Of yeast. After activating, do I only scoop 1/4 tsp. of this froth into my recipe?

[@geraldhenriksen3664]

Measurements are for the dry yeast prior to proofing

[@MrNewrick00]

Do you have to take the 1/4 cup of warm water out of the recipe then ? let's say a recipe calls for 1 cup of water, do i use just 3/4 of a cup ?

[@borismooner1863]

I bought this yeast, but the recipe I have says to add all dry ingredients together. The recipe does not have sugar. Do I follow the recipe exactly or add my yeast/sugar/water to the dry recipe????

[@mommyloveful]

tenx,very informative

[@BeautifulMagical]

"One fourth"? Are you kidding me?

[@scriptorium-in-candelight]

how do you make a cake yeast or block yeast ? I think yeast is different in taste and flavor though difficult sometimes to explain.

[@ashleyden8054]

help ....i added active dry yeast n instant yeast together directly to flour. my flour did rise up but i don't know why active yeast ball aren't mixed up yet i can still touch it . so i don't know should i bake it or no or should i keep in overnight in fridge ?????

[@DJBRUCEK1]

THANK YOU!!

Thank you for that info

[@headsNshoulders]

Some went up my nose is that bad

[@zezaekrael]

That's correct.

[@TheCburns5]

It worked for me both times that I did it. You may have gotten some bad yeast.

[@rustys9190]

what if the recipe of the bread has sugar in it ,,,isnt that going to make the bread extra sweet ,,,sugar in the yeast and sugarr in the bread recipe which goes into the dough,,,wouldnt that be too much sugar

[@1971SuperLead]

Honey works.

[@prillerman]

Can I use that use for making pizza I've been thinking Pizza a lot lately

[@YUribe26]

worse yeast ever. I've used 4 packets and still not active. Ughhhhhhhhh

[@AfiOye]

Yeast scares me

[@thepenmen22]

Same omg. I keep hearing words like "alive and dead", makes me think i'm first drowning and then eating some creatures or something.

[@u2teech]

can i proof instant yeast this way too?

[@kanwalsaluja2831]

most of the time dry yeast is dead.is there any special method for storing.

[@thatcaliforniabeauty818]

kanwal saluja refrigeration or freezing

[@jackieking7908]

I tried it today and it wasn't active at all was a bit disappointed with my pita bread , came out hard and stiff

[@omnivorevegetarian836]

What if you're not eating sugar?

[@justanil8921]

which yeast is better to use

[@Snappycomeback]

She looks totally stoned lol

[@anne8743]

How come they all say that every little packet has 2 1/4 ts of yeast when in reality there is barely 2 ts,with every brand I purchased?

[@aimtcb]

a true teaspoon is actually smaller than what we call tea spoons

Cuz Ben can keep it alive forever if you keep it in a jar in your fridge and add sugar water weekly.

Fast acting yeast like Paul Hollywood uses is much better and easier to use.

[@timmeeeeeeeh]

I thought yeast only feeds on basic sugars, so complex sugars like standard granulated white sugar would not work for feeding yeast.

[@YaMoonSun]

Tim Smart seems to be working fine for my ginger ale fermentation

[@marydawkins4190]

Regular white sugar works great to feed your yeast culture. I've always used it.

[@thatbastardson]

forget these guys. get saf yeast, and dont look back.

I have never ever proofed yeast. Maybe back in 1860 when the product was invented this was necessary. So much misinformation.

[@gavinchurch6109]

No u are wrong the packs are to be used with distilled water not city tap water because the chlorine screws with the yeast and it will not work so those little packs do work after all don’t they lmao

[@la.belle.de.jour.]

This yeast sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rickrodgers2790]

This is a terrible video. WHy would I want to waste an entire envelope to see if it proofs? Why not use ¼ tsp and a pinch of sugar in the warm water. How do you use the proofed yeast. (Ummm, you would substitute the water mixture for the same amount of water used in the recipe, right? In this case, ¼ cup.) What if the recipe uses more of less than the packet of yeast? Do I have to dissolve the entire envelope as described here? Sheesh! A company that can't even explain how to use its own product clearly.
