Notes
Yeast : Unopened yeast packages store it in a cool or dry place. You can also store your yeast in the fridge or freezer. If you do store it in the freezer and need to use yeast for your baking, make sure you take out the amount you need and let it sit at room temperature for at least half hour before using.
Your yeast, it is a living organism and over time it will lose activity, even if you’ve never opened the jar or package. So if you don’t bake often, buy the smaller yeast packages rather than a big jar of yeast.
Warm water for proofing :Make sure your water is not too hot or it could kill the yeast which will cause your dough not to rise at all.
