Yeast Unit

I think that the yeast unit in all was a success. There were many different recipes that we tried throughout this unit. We made bread, one batch that had very minimal time to rise and another that had ample time to rise. Both batches of bread turned out great. My personal opinion is that the dough that had more time to rise had a little more flavor or taste where the dough that didn’t rise turned out more bland. Another recipe that we tried was pizza. On the first day we prepared the dough and sauce. The dough was started by blooming the yeast. This process was done by adding the given amount of yeast into a bowl and putting in warm water. To make sure the water was warm you ran the water on your wrist and if it felt too hot it had to be cooled and vice versa. Over all I thing that the yeast unit was great fun and a learning experience. I did run into a few problems but all minor. I put too much cheese and sauce on my pizza but it was still a delectable treat. Michael C.
