“BakeryBits ... we love you: you deliver when you say you will and your products are fab. This yeast is lovely ... it adds such a nice flavour and smell that other dried yeasts don't and ... it works!”
“I have used this active years for a couple of years with success. If I'm making sourdough bread or baguettes and want to add a small amount of yeast, I add the water and sourdough starter to the flour and mix toogether, leave it for 2 hours, then add 1 level teaspoon of active yeast (for 500g flour) and the salt, and mix well in my stand mixer (4 min slow + 7 min fast for baguettes). I don't add the yeast to water first because (a) I want to let the sourdough starter get a head start and (b) I don't want to add extra water after I have got a the hydration the recipe calls for. I have never found that adding yeast dry to the dough causes any problems at all.”
