O.k., So I Stirred It

Hi everyone,

I'm very sad to report the demise of a potentially wonderful loaf of bread. <_<

It kind of made a hard, dirt, crust thing.

I stirred the yeast in the hot water as it was supposed to be frothing...

but there was no froth...and I wanted it to froth...any sign of life from that

freakin' yeast and I would have left it alone. Instead, I think I killed it. :ph34r:

Any thoughts?

-Julie (mother by day---bread killer by night) :rolleyes:

:D Julie, my dear....

You may have killed the yeast by using the hot water--it's best to use lukewarm water. Too hot will kill it--too cold and it won't "work". Also, check the date of the yeast and make sure it's fresh.

You'll get the hang of it--breads are tricky ;):)

You want the water to be about 100 degrees, and mostly just leave the yeast to grow.

Sorry, I meant to say 110 degrees.

The trick my mom taught me with yeast growing up, is if you stick your finger in the liquid and can just stand it, its perfect. If you want to pull your finger out, its too hot. Or you could use a thermometer....:P

Did you remember to put 1 - 2 tsp sugar in the "warm" water?

I once forgot and the yeast didn't "start" (froth).

The yeast requires something to activate it (sugar is what most use).

Wow ladies! What good tips :)

Well, I really messed up...

I thought if a little heat is good at making yeast froth,

then...

A lot of heat must be extra good...I thought I'd have the fluffiest

yeast bread around. :huh:<_<

Looking back, I suppose my logic was a little juvenile. :rolleyes:

So, for any of you reading this, don't expect yeast to froth at 140 degrees.

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

My mother has been coming up and making my bread for me on weekends. She's cutting me off 3 months from today (that's the day I'm gtting married). I am taking very detailed notes from you ladies as mom's not being very forthcoming with her yeast frothing/bread making abilities. How dare a non gluten-free person hoard such valuable information!

You guys are a riot! :D Munkee, for your benifit, please don't copy anything I do in the kitchen! I am simply here for comic relief. :rolleyes: You'll gradually learn from the experts on cooking on this site. Glad my dead yeast could be of assistance. ;) -Julie

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
