Learn how to activate yeast in three steps

In order to knead the dough with the perfect taste, it is necessary to activate the yeast first

Many inexperienced housewives worry whether they will know how to do this properly, but this is the simplest process.

In the next three steps, see how to activate the yeast and how to knead the dough.


The first action

Warm water or warm milk. Depending on what is written in the dough recipe, heat some water or some milk.

Never let it boil, but only let it be slightly warm. If you find it easier, you can use hot tap water, while heating the milk only slightly. Then pour the hot water or milk into the container in which you will knead the dough. Add the yeast and mix. Try to have as few lumps as possible, reports the Telegraph.

The second action

Add some sugar. After dissolving the yeast in water or milk, add one or two small spoons of sugar (it depends on what is written in the dough recipe).

Yeast feeds on sugar and sugar will help it multiply and become active. In essence this speeds up the process. When you finish the sugar, mix it again.

The third action

Let it stand. If you chose the first two actions, all you have to do is leave the yeast in the container to stand for about 15 minutes.

After this time, when you check the container, there should be bubbles, ie. the yeast foams. This means that the yeast is activated and it's time to use it. Then add the other dough ingredients and knead. /Telegraph/
