Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between active dry and instant yeast?
Active dry yeast typically needs to be dissolved in warm water before use, while instant yeast can be mixed directly into dry ingredients and generally acts a bit faster — they can often be substituted using a similar ratio with minor adjustments.
Why does fresh yeast need a much higher percentage than dry yeast?
Fresh yeast contains significantly more moisture than dried forms, so a larger weight is needed to provide the same amount of active yeast cells compared to active dry or instant yeast.
What is baker percentage?
Baker percentage expresses every ingredient in a bread recipe as a percentage of the total flour weight, which is set at 100 percent — this system makes it easy to scale recipes and compare formulas regardless of batch size.
