    If you put a teaspoon of sugar mixed with your yeast and water, it will make it raise better.

    Remember to never mix salt directly with the yeast and water mixture as the salt kills the raising action.

      You would have to use far more salt than is usual in bread for it to have a significant retardation effect on the yeast.

          I used to make my own bread from scratch, twice a week. I use a machine now, but I do intend to going back to doing it manually again.

            Why would you go back to making it yourself, surely its much quicker with the machine. I keep saying I will buy one, but I’m wondering if i would then end up making too much of it. 🙂

              You get more control over it doing it manually, plus it’s really satisfying 🙂

              Yes, I guess so really, it’s like baking instead of buying it in a packet to bake. Gosh it’s making me feel hungry. Must get to bed away from food before I start on some supper. 🙂

      I thought everybody knew that you add a teaspoonful of sugar to the yeast and water, to get it raring to go. Hippy types can use honey, of course.

        Well, there you go maybe some didn’t and will notice a difference next time they bake bread.

          I don’t know if you noticed, but Tesco have now stopped charging for yeast, so it is free again.

      I always put two teaspoons of sugar in my water and my yeast to help the yeast poof up. It works. Xx

        I must admit I don’t make much bread and am very tempted to buy a bread maker but just wonder if I would bake a lot more 🙂
