Re-activating Dried Yeast

Some recipes call for fresh yeast but it isn’t always easy to find fresh yeast. So dried active yeast can be used instead, but it has to be reactivated. A simple rule of thumb is that you use half the amount of dried yeast than you would if you were using fresh yeast. Also, one tablespoonful of dried yeast is approximately equal to 15 g. So this recipe will tell you how to reactivate 15 g of dried yeast.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup boiling water
2/3 cup cold water
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp dried yeast

Instructions:
1. Mix the waters and then dissolve the sugar in it.
2. Add the yeast and mix well.
3. Leave it to sit for 20 or so minutes.
4. Then use in your recipe as directed.
