Pre-fermentation of Instant Yeast in winter

In winter, when room temperature is ver low, it is better to have yeast, even if it is instant, fermented beforehand.

For 300g flour

Dry (instant yeast): 6g (2t)
Lukewarm water (40c): 100cc (1/2 cup)
Sugar: 3g (1t)

Leave the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes.

Note:
  • Too much sugar may destroy the yeast.
  • Hot water (water with more than 50 degree centigrade) will kill yeast.
