Activating The Yeast

It is extremely important that we activate the yeast. Activating the yeast goes by mixing some part of sugar and water. Stir in your yeast. The yeast will act on the sugar which will ensure that the yeast starts respiring. Activated yeast will bloom. Make sure that the water you are mixing in is warm enough. Cool water will just deactivate the yeast. You can also use pre-activated yeast, however, for much better outcomes always use yeast that needs to be activated. Some bakers also use fresh yeast which is another good alternative, however, it is difficult to measure and find.
