What is the difference between ACTIVE DRY YEAST AND BREAD MACHINE/FAST RISING YEAST?
Either yeast can be used in your bread maker. The bread machine/fast rising yeast will work faster therefore less yeast is required. See the individual recipe for the amount of yeast to use and what is recommended. Ingredients What are the key ingredients in making bread? Six basic ingredients are necessary for making bread. 1. Bread Flour: Develops elasticity when mixed with liquid and kneaded. It forms the structure of the dough as it traps the gases which are created when the yeast ferments the sugar. Do not use self-rising or cake flour in your bread maker. 2. Liquid: Makes workable dough when combined with the dry ingredients. It also provides the moisture for the yeast to grow. 3. Sugar: Provides food for the yeast adds flavor to the bread and aids in browning the crust. 4. Salt: Keeps the yeast working at a steady, even pace, enhances taste and strengthens the dough structure. 5. Fat: Increases the elasticity of the flour, makes the crust tender and helps keep bread fresher long
