Fresh baking yeast, also known as baker's yeast or fresh yeast, is a key ingredient in bread making and other baked goods. This type of yeast is typically sold in the form of moist, compressed blocks or cakes. It is highly perishable and needs to be refrigerated or frozen to maintain its freshness. When using fresh baking yeast in recipes, it's important to ensure that the water or other liquids added to the dough are at the correct temperature (usually lukewarm) to activate the yeast. Proper fermentation temperature and proofing time are crucial for achieving optimal rise and texture in the final baked product.
