Did you know yeast has been to space? 🚀🌔Yeast cells repair DNA damage in a similar way that human cells do. Humans actually share more genetic material with yeast than we do with plants! In 2022, NASA sent some brave “yeastronauts” into space to observe the effects of space radiation. They then extracted out the DNA sequences and counted each of the mutants that survived. This gave scientists a better understanding to protect future astronauts with new medications and better resistance to radiation. Yeast very well may have had something to do with our beloved 4-person crew floating up in the Artemis II. ❤️👨🚀👩🚀👨🏽🚀👨🏻🚀#fermentation #artemisii #yeast #breadbaking

Yeast cells c’mon and shuffle yo feet. 💃🪩What does yeast actually do during fermentation? 👇Yeast cells digest food to obtain energy for growth. Their favorite food is sugar in its various forms: sucrose (beet or cane sugar), fructose and glucose (found in white sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup and fruit), and maltose (derived from starch in flour).The process, alcoholic fermentation, produces useful end products, carbon dioxide (gas) and ethyl alcohol. These end products are released by the yeast cells into the surrounding liquid in the dough. In bread baking, when yeast ferments the sugars available from the flour and/or from added sugar, the carbon dioxide gas cannot escape because the dough is elastic and stretchable. As a result of this expanding gas, the dough inflates, or rises. Thus, the term “yeast-leavened breads” was added to the vocabulary of the world of baking.The ethyl alcohol (and other compounds) produced during fermentation produce the typical flavor and aroma of yeast-leavened breads.#fermentation #yeastbread #homebaker #breadbaking #bakingbreadDouble Dutch Bus, Molly Long

Deceased yeast? 😵If you have an old, perhaps forgotten, package of yeast an are wondering if it’s still good, here’s what to do! 👇First off, baker’s yeast has a shelf life of two years when unopened. A few factors can affect this, like climate and how you store it. ⚠️ EVEN IF your yeast is past the expiration date, it can STILL BE GOOD! 👍 So grab a measuring cup and fill it up with 1/2 cup of warm water, around 110-115’F. Next, dissolve one teaspoon of granulated sugar into the water. Now stir in your yeast in question. Stir thoroughly until there are no more dry yeast granules on top.⏰ After 3-4 minutes, the yeast will start to activate and foam.⏰ After 10 minutes, the foam mixture should rise to the 1-cup mark. ✅If YES: Your yeast is active! 🙌 Use activated yeast in your recipe ASAP.❌If NO: Your yeast is dead. 😵 Do not pass go, discard of the mixture.Baking with yeast doesn’t have to be scary! We’re here for all your baking kneads. 🫶#homebaker #bakingbread #yeastbread #yeast
