The Surprising Truth About Salt and Yeast | Does Salt Kill Yeast ?

[@crackerjack4790]

Thank you! I'm new to bread making and have heard about salt stopping fermentation but no salt or salt added to late makes a tasteless bread. I proof my yeast before adding it to the flower + salt mix. This was very helpful. .Nice E-book too.

I'm glad you found the video helpful! Proofing your yeast before is also another great method as well. And thank you for your kind words 🙏

I watched carefully and I think of the first two, I prefer the bread with the yeast and salt mixed.

Thank you for watching! It's interesting how different methods can impact the flavour and texture of bread

I wonder what the test would show with sourdough starter?

[@Baker_mhy]

That's a really interesting question! Sourdough starters have their own unique properties, and testing them with salt could yield some fascinating results. but if I were to guess, the results could be very similar with the yeast.

What’s the recipe for this though?

[@Baker_mhy]

This is mainly for testing, so I try not to complicate the recipe and process. This isn’t the most flavourful bread recipe I have, but this is the recipe : 150g, Bread Flour 105g, Water 1g, Instant Yeast 1.8g, Salt
