8. Yeast
After yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand bread and
make the inner fiber soften. However, yeast fast breeding needs carbohydrate in sugar and flour as
nourishment.
• 1 tsp. active dry yeast = 3/4 tsp. instant yeast
• 1.5 tsp. active dry yeast = 1 tsp. instant yeast
• 2 tsp. active dry yeast = 1.5 tsp. instant yeast
Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high temperature, before using,
check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store it back to the refrigerator as soon as possible
after each use. Usually the failure of bread rising is caused by the bad yeast.
The ways described below are helpful for checking whether your yeast is fresh and active.
(1) Pour 1/2 cup of warm water (45-50°C) into a measuring cup.
(2) Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. yeast over the water.
(3) Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
(4) The froth should be up to 1 cup. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.
9. Salt
Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. But salt can also restrain yeast from rising. Never
use too much salt in a recipe. But bread would be larger if without salt.
10. Eggs
Eggs can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourish and large in size, the egg must be peeled and
stirred evenly.
11. Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread soften and delay storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped to small particles
before using.
12. Baking powder
Baking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cake. As it does not need rise time, and it can
produce air, the air will form bubble to soften the texture of bread utilizing chemical principle.
13. Soda
It is similar with baking powder. It can also be used in combination with baking powder.
14. Water and other liquid
Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water temperature between 20°C and
25°C is the best. The water may be replaced with fresh milk or water mixed with 2% milk powder, which
may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color. Some recipes may call for juice for the purpose of
enhancing bread flavor, e.g. apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and so on.

INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENT

One of important steps for making good bread is the proper amount of ingredients. It is strongly suggested to
use measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate amount, otherwise the bread will be largely
influenced.
