Let's look at the effect of temperature on yeast activity. When making spaghetti, we usually mix yeast with warm water to activate the yeast to start the fermentation process. Temperature is very important for the growth and reproduction of yeast. Generally speaking, higher temperature will accelerate the activity of yeast, but at the same time it will easily lead to excessive fermentation of dough. However, lower temperature will slow down the activity of yeast and take longer to reach the ideal state.
Next, let's talk about usage. Generally speaking, using too little yeast will lead to insufficient dough and fail to achieve fluffy taste; Using too much yeast may lead to problems such as excessive fermentation and odor. Therefore, when determining the appropriate dosage, it is necessary to calculate according to the total weight of dough and the required dough proofing time.
Specifically, when making 500g dough, it is generally recommended to use 3-5g yeast. If you want a shorter fermentation time, you can use more yeast; If you want to give the noodle head time to ferment, you can use less yeast. This is only a rough reference value, and the specific usage should be adjusted according to your own experience and taste needs.
In order to improve the fermentation effect of dough, we can achieve better results by adding some ingredients to promote yeast activity. For example, adding a small amount of sugar or honey can provide nutrients needed by yeast; Adding proper amount of salt can control the activity speed of yeast; Adding a small amount of lemon juice can improve the smell produced during hairdressing.
Different cakes need different fermentation effects. For example, bread usually needs a large degree of fermentation to achieve a soft taste; However, pasta like pizza needs a little fermentation to keep its crisp taste. Therefore, it is also very important to properly adjust the amount of yeast and fermentation time when making different types of pasta.
When making cakes, it is very important to master the use of yeast reasonably. The choice of temperature, dosage and other auxiliary ingredients will all have an impact on the hair surface effect. Through constant practice and adjustment, I believe you can master the usage of yeast and make delicious pasta. Have a good time baking!
