ideal water temperature to use will be
95 F. Keep in mind that IDY, due to
its rapid hydrating properties, is rather
sensitive to water temperature when it's
being hydrated outside of the dough. So
be sure to use a thermometer to make sure
the water temperature the IDY is being
hydrated in is right at 95 F. Just like ADY,
the amount of water used to hydrate the
IDY should be about five times the weight
of the IDY. The rest of the hydration/

activation procedure is the same as for
ADY.
Compressed yeast (CY) is ready to use
right from the package. There is no need
to activate or put it into a suspension prior
to use. Compressed yeast can either be
added directly into the dough water or it
can be crumbled on top of the flour just
before you begin mixing the dough. One
misconception regarding CY is that many
believe that it has to be suspended in the

dough water. This is not true. You can
just add the crumbled yeast right into
the water. If you absolutely must whisk
the CY into the water no harm will
be done, but like many of you I have
more important things to do than to
whisk my yeast into the water when it's
unnecessary.
Regardless of the type of yeast being
used, I always recommend that it not
be brought into direct contact with salt
and/or sugar after it has been hydrated.
While it is a common practice with
many operators to add the water to the
mixing bowl and then add the yeast,
salt and sugar to the bowl followed
by the flour, I don't recommend the
practice as a delay in beginning. The
mixing process could result in potential
damage to the yeast (resulting in
dough inconsistencies later). By adding
the yeast to the flour just as we're
ready to begin mixing, the potential
for harming the yeast is reduced.
Remember, we're always striving
for consistency and failure is not an
option, so I like to do everything
possible to follow that mantra. n
