Leavening Agents, Yeast, Baker'S, Active Dry

Active dry yeast needs hydration; weight-based dosing keeps fermentation predictable.

Weigh for breads and doughs; adjust water temp to activate without killing cells.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Store sealed in fridge or freezer; bring to room temp before use and mind expiration.
