[quote=\"jtoh\"]Just read my Z manual. It says yeast should be kept in the freezer or fridge. I will test out my yeast again and let you know the outcome. Wish me luck!

If u r using instant yeast, u do not need to put in freezer or fridge. Unless it is fresh yeast. If u bought the instant yeast for quite sometime or its near to expired date, please add about 10-20% of recipe quote.

Oh ok. But the manual says active dry yeast should be placed in fridge. Active dry yeast is instant right?[/quote]Hi,

Active dry yeast is different from instant yeast. FYI, most bakeries use instant yeast nowadays as it is simpler and more stable to use.

Happy Mama:

My raisin bread. Can someone please tell me how to achieve an even distribution of raisins in the loaf? Mine seems a little unbalanced

This actually could be helped by balancing the water content of the dough. Or the time used to soak the raisin.

Please note that making raisin bread really need to calculate the water in the dough or the time we used to soak the raisin (more time more water absorbed by the raisins)

As raisins tend to absorb more water and cause the bread to dry sooner, this happens at pre bake state (dough) and post bake state (bread)
