The following instructions can be used to determine the freshness and quality of your yeast. To test, follow these instructions:



1. Place 1/2 cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl or cup.
2. Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water.
3. Sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the surface.
4. Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow it to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.
5. The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If this does not occur, the yeast is inactive and stale and new yeast should be purchased.
