Even if the packets say to mix it in, the yeast will be much healthier if rehydrated in plain water. When the yeast are dried, they lose their cell walls, which are recreated when rehydrated. If they are building their cell walls in the presence of other material, that material can get into the cell and damage or kill the yeast. You can mix it in because enough yeast will survive to make the dough, but rehydrating will get you more healthy yeast in your dough.
i’m not talking about any packet! when you put yeast into water it does NOT dissolve! you are an idiot! the cell wall does not break down, if it did the cells would die!
hi…. could you please tell me which kitchen aid model are you using to make the bread dough?? I was planning to buy one, but just wanted to know whether a 300W motor will be enough to make good bread dough
I got this info from Danstar, the makers of dry beer brewing yeast. I think they know what they are talking about. Dry yeast are in a state of suspension, not dead, but not really alive either
okay, heres where you are going wrong DISSOLVE means “To become fluid; to be melted; to be liquefied. ” you can dissolve salt into water to make a soloution, thats because the sodium becomes a positive ion and the chloride becomes a negative ion and they are in an aqueous state, when you put yeast into water you make a mixture, i’m not saying you’re wrong. what i am saying is that yeast will never “dissolve” in water, you can mix it with water which will make the yeast work better, not dissolve

My daughter said that “It’s very yeasty”. I agree, it’s very yeasty. My other daughter says, “It’s good yeast” Tell me what you think.
