Yeast Dough Dissolve one package of dry yeast into 1/4 cup of water that is slightly cool to the touch, about 85 degrees F
- 2
Yeast is killed at temperatures of more than 105 degrees F, so while cool water may slow proofing time, it will avoid killing the yeast
- 3
Add one teaspoon of sugar to feed the yeast
- 4
Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars and gluten in flour
- 5
It in turn multiplies and produces carbon dioxide as a by-product

Carbon dioxide bubbles cause dough to rise
