Serve up delicious, handcrafted baked creations in your cafe, restaurant, or bakery by using this 1 lb. block of fresh compressed yeast in your signature recipes! Created in the 19th century, fresh yeast is the oldest commercial form of yeast and is normally sold in blocks - or "cakes" - made up of compressed, crumbly, cream-colored yeast. Compared to active dry yeast, this compressed yeast is favored by bakers due to its rich, slightly sweeter taste and its enhanced rising ability. With (24) 1 lb. blocks of compressed yeast per case, this bulk-sized, pre-portioned product works to shorten prep time, optimize storage, and minimize wasted product to save you money in your high-traffic food service establishment! The individual packaging also helps to extend this yeast's shelf life by ensuring moisture and humidity are kept out until you need to use it. With convenience in mind, all you need to do is simply dissolve the yeast in liquid before mixing it in with the rest of your ingredients, and you are good to go! Once dissolved, the yeast is activated and ready to be made into delicious, freshly-made dishes.
Yeast converts sugars found in dough into carbon dioxide, causing the dough to expand. This chemical process is what helps give bread the soft and airy texture we all know and love! That makes this fresh compressed yeast perfect for making pizza crust, round loaves, or long "French-style" breads. It is also great to use in dessert recipes like homemade, gooey cinnamon rolls or cinnamon-sugar pretzel knots. Create mouthwatering desserts or crusty, rustic breads with ease using this fresh, compressed yeast! As a versatile option for any bakery, pizzeria, cafe, or restaurant, this product is just what you need to entice your hungry customers with all-new, tasty recipes!
