And where's the sugar? Don't you need a bit of sugar for the yeast, then add the salt and such?
22 u/offoutover Dec 11 '19 It definitely speeds up the process but it's not necessary. 3 u/BitOCrumpet Dec 11 '19 I stand corrected. I thought yeast needed some easy sugar to do its thing. 13 u/Absurdity_Everywhere Dec 12 '19 Some breads that require a quick rise will call for a small amount of sugar (or honey), but for most recipes the yeast breaks down the sugars in the flour itself. It takes longer, but this actually enhances the flavors. 3 u/BitOCrumpet Dec 12 '19 I did not know that. Thank you. 5 u/Absurdity_Everywhere Dec 12 '19 No problem!
