Baking bread at home: How to check active yeast for perfect loaf

New Delhi : As lockdown is being observed in India and many other parts of the world to contain the coronavirus these days, people have been testing their baking and cooking skills at home these days. 

While this is helping people in passing their time at home in a fruitful manner, it is also cutting their need to step out for essential items which can be baked at home.

According to a report by Fox News, baking bread at home is one of the best options as it not only completes your need but also cut shorts your visit to a nearby bakery.

If you are baking one then there is a very important thing which must be kept in mind while hitting the kitchen.

Yeast is a microbe that is used for making the dough rise to prepare the perfect loaf of bread but using an inactive yeast can make the entire bread preparation to go down the drain.

According to Fox News, the easiest way to check if the yeast is good to go for baking or not is to add it into cup half filled with warm water and a teaspoon of sugar. The next step is to stir it up and leave it standing for ten minutes. If the yeast bubbles and froths, it is active and good to go for baking.

Since yeast is something that is used in many baking dishes, it is worth testing if it is active or inactive to get the desired results.
