Intro to Yeast Bread (how yeast works, dry yeast, active dry yeast, instant yeast) | Baking School

[@vkollur]

I baked my first yeast bread a couple of weeks ago. Your channel has answered a lot of my questions. I just finished all your baking course videos. Great stuff, thanks!

[@BakerBettie]

Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@blonddiev8752]

Just wanted to say thank u for this lovely video your kitchen is so stunning I'm trying to bake my first loaf 🍞 tonight I made 🥓 lentils 🍲 soup for my boyfriends lunch but ran out of 🍞it's 1:20 am so I decided to take a chance thanks to u my confidence is high 💋😇

[@BakerBettie]

You are so welcome! Have fun with it!

[@profe2762]

Thank you for making this so easily understood! Very much appreciated!!

[@konikacariapa3289]

Thank you for this video, if I want to check if instant yeast is alive, can I proof it the same way as active dry yeast? Thank you

[@miamidudeful]

Finally I get the difference

[@apian29]

Thanks sm exactly what I was looking for! Decided it’s time to learn this stuff 😎Let’s go

[@guadageraldez4993]

Hi, if active dry yeast is slower than instant yeast..does it mean that proofing of bread when dry active yeast is used should be longer?thank you.

[@lacqueredhearts]

Yes it does! Instant or rapid rise yeast has much shorter proofing times :]

[@mistybell3796]

Thanks, I didn't know the difference between instant and active. First bread turned out so dense, hopefully I'll do better next time

[@BakerBettie]

Keep practicing!

Hello, Thankyou for your great baking show! I have bought a type of yeast in a plastic container stored at room temperature. It is tiny dried balls or pellets. Is this just a form of dry yeast? Should I grind it to make it comparable to the dry yeast in packets? Do you know the ratio I should use? I thankyou so much for your help if you can! Thanks in advance! 💜

[@TheMknc]

Hello.. just wondering. How much water do you put in yeast for activation?

[@guy0111]

So, if yeast is alive, does this mean I can have a yeast pet :)

[@BakerBettie]

Yep! It's called a sourdough starter! Mine's name is Millie.

[@LetsTravelThisYear]

Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I have one question. What's the difference between active dry yeast and dry yeast? Thank you .. I will be watching all your videos.

[@Rattlesnake9585]

Active dry yeast is simply a type of dry yeast. All three yeast packets in this video were dry yeasts.

[@catherinecho8274]

Thank u I'v been searching for this kinda content

[@sstephhh]

Do you activate instant yeast in water first?

[@ShanazTube]

No, instant yeast is designed to be added directly to the ingredients. Active dry yeast need to be proved with water first.

[@EmmaDee]

@@ShanazTubehmmmm….ive been dissolving in water so my dough doesn’t show the little grains.

[@KMJ101VLOG]

Hi! baker Bettie can you pls tell me what can i use to make bread in the absence of yeast

[@BakerBettie]

Hi Rena, you can try your hand at making a sourdough starter. All you need is flour and water and once it is active you can use it to leaven your bread. I have a whole playlist walking you through the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJqnYa13pNuWjdU Or you can make soda bread which uses baking soda to leaven your bread.

[@owlwhisker0w031]

Baker Bettie we have made sour dough and we find it’s best if the starter is in a jar, also if you are using the crock pot make sure the handle is metal, one we had had a plastic handle but it felt like stone, we didn’t know till it was in the oven. Also I have a question, do you know what flour you should use to have a more soft sour dough bread?

[@GodsObedientChild-Deuteron6262]

Baker Bettie you are so AWESOME😊🙌🙌🙌!

What does one use if not using yeast 🤔. Here to improve yeast skills

[@kazaz0405]

Hi, new subscriber here! I recently bought saf-instant yeast for the first time. I have read that instant yeast is different from rapid rise. I also only really have experience using active dry yeast. I'm a little confused when it comes to the first rise when using instant yeast. A few sources I've read says to skip the first rise, and instead, let it rest for 10 minutes. Other sources say to follow through with the first rise, it just wont take as long to double. Can you please advise me on which is correct? Thank you!

[@BakerBettie]

Hi Jessica! I know, it gets confusing! So rapid rise yeast or quick rise yeast is always instant yeast. But instant yeast is not always rapid rise yeast. Does that make sense? Instant yeast is formulated in a way that it is very stable and can tolerate a bit higher temperatures. It is truly designed for commercial baking due to all the machinery involved. So saf-instant is basically similar to active dry yeast, but it is smaller yeast granules and is a bit more stable than regular active dry. When dry yeast was first made, it was necessary to hydrate active dry yeast before adding it to the dough. Instant yeast was then formulated so that it was ready the instant the package was opened and didn't need to be hydrated. THEN rapid rise yeast was formulated to be a form of instant yeast that also works quicker. I treat them all the same. Regular and instant will have a bit slower fermentation time than rapid rise. But I don't ever skip the first rise with any of them. The first rise is where all the flavor of your dough builds. You technically can skip it and still make bread, but it won't have much flavor.

[@kazaz0405]

@@BakerBettie thank you SO much for clearing that up for me! I was actually starting to regret straying from the brand and type of yeast I'm used to! You have some amazing videos here that I'm truly enjoying. Please keep up the amazing work. You deserve more subscribers than you currently have!

[@BakerBettie]

I appreciate your kind words! I'm so glad you find them useful. I'm actually working on a sourdough series that will be released in September. So watch out for that if you're interested in dipping your toe into that world!

[@kazaz0405]

@@BakerBettie I will definitely keep an eye out for that! I tried my own sourdough starter last year but didn't have much success. Maybe your new series will show me what I was doing wrong!!

Hi Jessica! Just in case you didn't see the Sourdough Series is live! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJqnYa13pNuWjdU

[@sallygomez1044]

Hi Bettie. I have heard of people cutting down the amount of yeast and doubling up on the time they let the dough rise. Does. This work?

[@BakerBettie]

Hi Sally, yes it does. You only need a very small amount of yeast to make your bread rise, but it will just take much longer. But it will also be more flavorful!

[@sallygomez1044]

@@BakerBettie thank you for your reply. I've been experimenting with doughs. I usually leave them to rise in the fridge overnight and have had great results.

Is the carbon dioxide gas basically yeast farts?

Hi! How can I substitute 150g sourdough yeast with fast active yeast? Many thanks :)

[@morehn]

Why not show fresh yeast? That's the only thing I use. I freeze whatever I don't use and take it out when I need it.

[@jaykishanrajpurohit4767]

Thanks for a great help against yeast .. I like your video .. And please can you make a video on all about pizza dough for commercial line use like in restaurant and other stuff or ingredients to use by measurement.. like which yeast best for pizza, how much it's rest a side to rise , and what's the sleflife of that dough and all how to ? .. like domino's pizza dough .. because I have to start pizza business in my shop .. so please could you help me out that .🙏🙏

[@BakerBettie]

Hi there! Unfortunately, I don't have any experience baking pizza in a commercial environment. All of my baking experience is as a home baker so large batch production is not something I have expertise on. Good luck to you!

Thanks for so important information.

[@janetabrams5760]

Where does yeast come from??

[@BakerBettie]

Yeast is everywhere. It is a fungus and it is literally all around us in the air, in our bodies, in the dirt, and in food we eat. The dry yeast that we bake with is a single strain of yeast that is grown in a lab that works well for making bread rise quickly.

[@meganjarvis7970]

Need instruction on fresh yeast and how to use.

[@GaryBoyd02]

Are you sponsored by Red Star?

[@BakerBettie]

Hi there, I have done a sponsorship with them in the past, but they did not sponsor this series. I made it on my own and truly have always used Red Star yeast in my baking long before I ever worked with them. If something in any of my videos is sponsored it is always clearly disclosed.
