Description
Active Dry Yeast is a type of yeast with a granular texture, similar to cornmeal. It is a living organism that is dormant, needs to be "proofed" and re-hydrated before use. Proofing involves putting active dry yeast in lukewarm water(110°F) before using. This will release the yeast and help it to work properly.
