The Right Way to Make Yeast Breads

Yeast breads can taste very delicious when done right. Here are a few tips to make yeast bread correctly:

1) One of the secrets to making good yeast bread is to use as little flour as possible and still be able to handle the dough. The dough should be quite moist. Adding flour beyond this point will make the dough heavy and tough.

2) If your yeast dough springs back constantly while you are trying to roll it out, it needs to relax a bit. Cover it with a dish towel to keep it from drying out and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

3) If your yeast dough doesn't rise, two things to look out for are old yeast (check the expiration date) and the temperature of the liquid. Dissolve fresh compressed yeast in liquids that are not warm.

4) Out of bread crumbs? You can use many kinds of dry cereals as crumbs if you put them through a blender or food processor. They are excellent in meat loaf and hamburger. They are also good added to yeast bread dough.

5) To keep dinner rolls piping hot, wrap a hot ceramic tile in a napkin, and place it in the bottom of the serving basket. Be sure to place the basket on a trivet to protect the table.

6) Stale rolls can be revived if you spray them lightly with cold water, place them in a paper bag or wrap in foil and warm up in an oven for about 5 minutes.
