I'm going to guess that you've never baked your own bread, then, because most bread yeast comes in a dry form and requires you to add water to it before adding to your recipe.
On that subject, bake your own bread! It's simple enough to do, and you can get all the ingredients and a bread pan for $20. It's one of the best kinds of science experiment: one where you get a delicious treat at the end. Well worth doing in your lifetime.
- retzkek 8y ago> bake your own bread! It really is incredibly easy to bake your own bread, and everything about it, from the smell, to the texture, to the taste, is just wonderful! I think a common reason people don't is because of the time commitment, but the secret is to break it up into several days, and keep the dough in the fridge/freezer. The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day really changed my perspective on bread baking, and now we always have fresh bread. Even if I'm not eating it (probable gluten sensitivity and mainly low-carb adherent) I enjoy making it for my wife as much as she enjoys eating it!
- xsmasher 8y agoYou are right about yeast, but yeast is not bacteria.
