 This nutritious product contains many useful substances and biologically active elements, yeast saturates foods with carbon dioxide, increases their volume and gives dishes a unique taste. Have known about the possibilities of yeast since time immemorial. But the standards for their application have evolved from century to century.
Egyptian yeast
Historians still cannot come to a consensus - what was the first product made from yeast? Back in the 5th millennium BC, the Egyptians used yeast in the preparation of flour products. Egypt is a country that is rightfully considered the birthplace of bread. Fragrant, aromatic bread with a golden crispy crust was made using a yeast-based sourdough culture. But in the East, yeast was used to prepare various drinks, including the famous kvass. In Russia, yeast began to be produced in the middle of the XIV century, and monks were engaged in this. Until that time, they were cooked only at home. But the yeast preparation process was very long and painstaking. Mass production of this product began only in the 19th century. The first yeast plants appeared in Germany.
Dough, rise!
There are several types of yeast. The most common are pressed and dried. On pressed yeast, the dough goes quickly and well. But dried ones have a big plus - unlike pressed ones, they have a long shelf life (at least 1 year).
You can extend the shelf life of the compressed yeast up to several months if you put it in the freezer after placing it in an airtight package (plastic container, glass jar, cellophane). Yeast dough can also be stored.
If you want to please your loved ones with delicious buns or pies, remember one rule - fats must be added to the dough at the very end, because they envelop the yeast cells and prevent them from multiplying, and the dough will rise very badly.
yeast has been known to man since ancient times. Since then, the technology for baking bread has not changed much.
Only facts
• The higher the sugar content in the dough, the more yeast needs to be used for the dough.
• You can replace pressed yeast with dry yeast, and you will need 3 times less of them.
Bread is the most important part of any person's life. Without it, neither the everyday existence of people of any age, nor the normal performance of labor actions is impossible. Bread is the basis of the diet, the main source of vitamins and minerals, and the main product for strengthening strength. A wide range of different bakery products not only uplifts mood and stimulates interest in life, but is also a way to enjoy the consumption of delicious and nutritious products.
The food industry is generally one of the most basic, and the bakery and confectionery market occupies a priority position among the markets for other food products. That is why this market is represented by numerous enterprises of various sizes and ranks, since this type of food is tempting for many manufacturers, from a private enterprise to a large industrial complex.
Naturally, in the current conditions, maintaining a high level and increasing the planned performance indicators requires tremendous efforts and costs, which is quite difficult due to the high degree of competition and the constant growth of production and sales costs.
