Fresh -V- dried yeast

Zziggi · 2005-08-04 23:54:13

Our local ASDAs will give you free fresh yeast if you ask for it. I just wondered if anyone has used fresh yeast in their breadmaker rather than the dried yeast that is recommended (BTW i have a panasonic SD-253)

There's also sourdough starter. I used this in my breadmachine and it makes great bread, though it does take a bit of organising as it needs to rise longer than bread made with yeast. I sed to make it by hand but wrist problem means I can no longer knead so have experimented and found it works Ok.

Sourdough starter is a little tricky to begin with but once it is established is very easy to keep going. I regard it as my pet! Needs no walking, only needs feeding the day before I use it and makes very little mess!
