Tips on Flour Storage

Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Store rye and whole wheat flours in a refrigerator, freezer, or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using.

Note: Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different in how they are ground, milled, stored, etc. You may have to experiment with different brands of

flour to help you make the perfect loaf. See RECIPE TIPS to assist with these experiments.

YEAST

Active yeast, through a fermentation process, produces carbon dioxide gas necessary to make bread rise. Yeast feeds on carbohydrates in sugar and flour to produce this gas. Three different types of yeast are available: fresh (cake), active dry and quick-acting. Quick, rapid rise and bread maker yeasts are quick-acting. Fresh (cake) yeast is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your bread maker.

Tips on Yeast

Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Ideally, yeast should be used several months before the expiration date. Once a package or jar of yeast is opened, it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated or frozen for future use. Often dough that fails to rise is due to stale yeast.

Note: Basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using active dry yeast. You may use chart below to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick rise, fast rise or bread maker yeast) for active dry yeast.

Conversion Chart for Quick Rise Yeast

¾tsp. active dry yeast = ½ tsp. quick-acting yeast 1 tsp. active dry yeast = ¾ tsp. quick-acting yeast 1½ tsp. active dry yeast = 1 tsp. quick-acting yeast 2¼ tsp. active dry yeast = 1½ tsp. quick-acting yeast 1 tbsp. active dry yeast = 2 tsp. quick-acting yeast Rapid Course Yeast

Rapid course settings for White, French, Whole Wheat and Sweet decrease time for making your favorite bread by approximately 1 hour. Choose recipe, then add an additional ½ tsp. of active dry or quick-acting yeast to the recipe. The bread may be shorter and denser.
