    Yes I would have preferred regular but couldn’t find any, anywhere. I don’t usually stock up on it because it doesn’t last so I just buy a new jar when I’m close to the end of the old one. But that was in the old days before covid panic and the stores emptied of everything :( There was still...

    Yah I’ve been taking notes as I go and I’ve been consistently using 1/2 - 3/4 cup LESS of flour than called for, my house is very dry. It passed the taste test too! So stretchy this time, like store bought - it just doesn’t smell as yeasty as before, maybe from the pizza yeast

    Baked again this weekend; hoarders had bought out baking yeast from every store I tried a few weeks ago, only one had a few little jars of pizza yeast left so I thought why not. The results: It mixed well and smelled good as it was rising; I noticed the the dough was a little stiffer this time...

    Well according to the googs it’s in smaller pieces, and looking thru the jar I can see that that’s true, it apparently doesn’t need to be proofed either, which also makes sense as I usually mix my regular yeast directly into the dry stuff. But can I proof it anyway? Perhaps I’ll do an experiment...

    Hi bakers! Skipping over the insanity of yesterday’s grocery run, after three stores I got the last jar of pizza yeast. Now, I do make a fair amount of homemade pizza, but has anyone ever used pizza yeast for any type of bread like loaves or rolls? I did google it, but got mixed answers. I trust...

    I did it! I baked two beautiful loaves! I followed the recipe from my kitchen aid stand mixer TO THE LETTER, and I took care to punch it down completely after the first rise...voila! Bread perfection! I wish I could show you the whole thing, but we’re savages and couldn’t wait to crack it open.....

    Me too! When I make butter I have a big tea towel I hang over and secure with a hair clip, works perfect!

    I made these yesterday; in case you can’t tell, they’re dinner rolls, and they’re a disgrace. I didn’t punch down the dough enough after the first rise....I will try again today!
