Comment on Fresh Yeast Conversion by Vesna

Hi Julie,
You can use fresh yeast in bread making machines. Simply crumble the yeast into the liquid (no need to cream it first), add other ingredients and set the program.

Hello has anyone used fresh yeast in there bread machine on the dough setting.

If any one has I would love to know how you got on and your method.

I’m in the UK and I have a Panasonic Bread machine.

Many thanks Julie

Dear Vesna
Thank you so much!
Most recipes these days call for active dry yeast or instant but I still prefer to use the fresh (compressed) yeast – because this is how my mother taught me to bake – by eye or sometimes by ratio of yeast to flour. It’s hard to break a habit and I don’t seem to get the same result with the granulated stuff.
Yours is the only conversion either way which I have found on the www.
Thank you again so much for all your help.
Claude

Dear liz,
I assume that the recipe is of US origin as it’s asking for a cake of yeast which is 0.6 oz. Converted to dry yeast it’s about 1/4 oz. or 7g envelope.

Comment on Homemade Dukkah Recipe by Vesna

Hi Leonie,

Dukkah will keep at least one month in an airtight container, maybe even longer, but ours is always eaten or given away before. Keep it in the fridge if you plan to store dukkah for a longer period or make now for Christmas presents. There is nothing in there that will spoil, but nut oils could get rancid.
