http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2008/10/03/yeastspotting-10308/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:49:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2008/10/03/yeastspotting-10308/comment-page-1/#comment-4902 themaninthemoon Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:24:38 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/?p=1268#comment-4902 Ok, I'm new to the game of bread (ing), but there are a few things that I'd like to know. In the past, my bread making attempts have been, .... ummm, not so successful. I wind up with something that smells like bread, but, at best, it sits on your stomach like a lump of clay, at the worst well, you don't want to know, really. What would happen if I don't punch it down after it has risen the 1st time around? Would this make it rise and be more fluffily textured? And here's one more Q. for you. Who has a recipe for making the yeast that is used for making the bread? I mean, somebody has to make the yeast that is sold in the stores, so there has to be a process involved, right? I don't know why, but every time I go to buy it at the store, the shelf life for this product seems short, at one month from the time I buy it. Is this the normal lifespan for yeast? Would someone email me the recipe to make my own yeast? Thanks, I just want to get it right. Ok, I’m new to the game of bread (ing), but there are a few things that I’d like to know.
