Tips
- In warmer weather (room temperature up to 27°C), yeast will become more active and bread will ferment faster. So the wet ingredients and butter must be cold to slow yeast activity.
- Once opened dry yeast, store it in container or ziplock plastic bag and chill in refrigerator. The yeast will be alive up to six months.
