the best pizza restaurants and recipes will always retard the dough overnight, not only for the slow rise, long fermentation converting the starch molecules to fermentable sugars for the yeast, but also so 24 hrs later when an order comes in, the gluten is completely relaxed, easy to spin into a thin dough in seconds:) |

Fresh yeast to instant yeast conversion so I'am not wrong if your saying this conversion can be used |

Fresh yeast to instant yeast conversion 100% fresh = 40-50% active dry = 33% instant |

Fresh yeast to dry yeast conversion? You first have to acknowledge that there is THREE types of yeast, Fresh, Active dry, and Instant. They all have there purpose, "Red Star" says that instant yeasts like rapid rise, bread machine, etc. do not respond to doughs that ferment at cooler temps (overnight fermentation in cooler). I do not know why Peter Reinhart uses instant. and i cannot ever get this stuff to dissolve once added into the flour, i have never seen this work, and its so frustrating when trying to work the dough and you can see the undissolved instant yeast. so i have always liked the fresh in the bakeshop, very consistent, hydrates easily, great results. At home i am stuck with the active dry, less consistent, pain to dissolve. remember yeast dies above 120 or so use body temp water, never come in direct contact with salt and it seems to me the more sugar you add to dough the more yeast you need for the same results. |
