Who would have thought these little cells could perform such incredible magic? 🪄 ✨🍞Yeast is the world’s oldest industrial microorganism and has been used by humans for over 5000 years, and likely even longer.Yeast has 3 main functions: leavening, flavor development, and dough maturation.Yeast feeds on sugar, often coming from sources in the dough like sugar, honey, or molasses. But yeast also breaks down flour during fermentation into edible sugar to feed on.Yeast consumes sugar in the dough and produces carbon dioxide and ethanol. CO2 trapped in a developed dough caused the dough to rise. Ethanol contributes to flavors and aromas.Follow us to learn more about all the wonderful properties of yeast! ❤️🍞

Happy Cheese Lover’s Day from the cheesehead state! 🧀 @gesinebp is dropping some Gouda knowledge about the best types of cheese for pizza. 🍕 The verdict: drier cheese is ideal. (Like shredded mozzarella.)When using wetter cheese, like fresh mozzarella, it’s important to break it up into smaller pieces so the moisture doesn’t weigh the crust down too much.Gesine’s perfect pizza dough recipe link is in our profile! #cheeseloversday #cheesepizza #homemadepizza #pizzadough

5,000+ years old and we still can’t rave enough about bread. 🍞The exact history of bread is up for debate. But historians all agree that the first observation of humans making leavened bread traces back to Ancient Egyptian civilizations over 5,000 years ago.It’s believed that leavening mixtures for bread making were formed by natural contaminants in flour; i.e. wild yeast and lactobacilli. It wouldn’t be until around 1860, when French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur identified yeast as a living organism and the responsible agent for fermentation.#fermentation #bread #breadmaking #funhistory

Club Pherment is always raising the roof. 🕺What happens when dough is proofing? 🍞👉 Yeast consumes available sugars in the dough.👉This is alcoholic fermentation. Carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are released by the yeast cells into the surrounding liquid in the dough.👉When a dough is developed, the gas cannot escape due to the elasticity. This causes the dough to inflate and rise. 🎈👉Ethyl alcohol provides typical flavor and aromas of yeast leavened breads.
