Stores sold out of yeast? Make your own, it's simple..

Our stores are full to the brim now but this would have been useful a few weeks ago. I suspect once these government fraud checks arrive the people will blow them all on toilet paper and groceries again so maybe in a few weeks this could be useful again who knows?

Sourdough bread.
It's easy to make your own starter. It just takes some time and DON'T use city tap water. Too much chlorine in city tap water which will kill the yeast.

Not just bread you need yeast to make your own booze.

the bleach in tap water will evaporate after 24 hrs

best to let tap water settle out for 24 hrs before drinking, watering plants or making bread.

use bleach before using unfiltered water and let it settle out before using. Use bleach water fresh to clean everything. Do not put it on your garden, bleach turns into salt. salt bad for garden plants

for later

Thank You!

I have yeast .... but flour has been a hard to find as toilet paper and meat for over a month now. Annoying.

BTW: link doesn't work.

The salts are heavy and will settle to the bottom.

This....

Sour dough....

you can use tap water if you let it evaporate and settle out, do not use the bottom layer of salt.

salt kills germs, it has been used for ever to preserve foods

Ding old dang tell u what man dang ole fruit fly caught in a mason jar round and round tell you what. bzz bzz bzzz

3 Packets of regular active yeast (not rapid rise)
2 Cups of Corn Meal- Approx.
1/2 Cup of cane sugar (not processed white although it works)
1/2 Cup of GP flour (bread flour is the wrong chemistry)
1 Teaspoon of powdered Ginger
Enough potatoes peeled, diced and cooked to make 1 cup of mashed potatoes

Peel, cut into small cubes and cook the potatoes until soft in as little water as you can get away with (strong starchy water for fuel). Drain and mash, reserving about 1/2 cup of the potato cooking liquid.

In a medium bowl add the 1/2 cup of potato liquid (cooled to between 105-107F.) to three packets of Active Dry Yeast- mix well.

Set this bowl aside for 10-15 minute until the mixture proofs to foamy.

Into a large bowl add the "working" yeast/potato water to: 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup of cooled mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon of ground Ginger.

Set the bowl aside loosely covered with a kitchen towel until the mixture has risen with lots of bubbles. I use the dehydrator set to 105F as my proofing oven here.

Start stirring in the cornmeal, a little at a time, until you have achieved a thick solid base that can be rolled out.

Place on cornmeal lightly dusted waxed paper. It's easiest to use cookie sheets with a waxed paper covering to sandwich in the mixture. Roll out until about 1/8" thick.

After the "dough" has been rolled out 1/8" thick, remove top sheet of waxed paper. This can then be cut into manageable-sized pieces and placed in a food dehydrator (on very low setting).

When completely dry and well cooled, use a food processor to grind yeast mixture until it is crumbles into granules like commercial dry yeast. The colder the yeast pieces, the better they crumble. The yeast will store in an airtight container for up to a year in your freezer.

When your supply starts to get low, just start over from Step One with 3 tablespoons of your homemade yeast mix.

Use 1 tablespoon of this yeast to = one package of commercial yeast. This yeast mixture will be slower to proof/rise.

Correct, use the right balance of salty, sweet, healthy yeast, wet and wild clean fun. Out of balance is not good.

Great for fermentation

When things get out of balance you get bad bread yeast, bad vagina, bad C-diff intestinal disorder out of control from antibiotics. When that happens I use C60 buckyballs. Or when some strange pandemic hit the earth. I make mine from scratch for pennies on the dime. I have no idea yet how this might impact my home made brew yet.

Thank you for the marvelous yeast recipe!

I have copied it into my prepping folder.

Yes I do, it kills a hangover

I could have never done any of this without everyone, all of you pitching in. You all taught me so much. I just had to put what I could together.

I did not come up with C60, I was taught on glp and put it to good use. You guys are the best.

Waiting for someone to post a video of that nasty hag that made bread with her yeast infection

There was a woman who made bread Witherspoon her dirty pussy,lol,, I shit you not.. she had a yeast infection.

LOL! Yeast was one of the few things I didn't remember to prep. I had, maybe 6 packets was all, and of course the store was completely out.

:fivestars:

I got a few packets of champagne yeast. Does wonders with honey to make a nice dry mead. Not sure if it would be any good for bread though. I may test one out just for the hell of it....

I got a big bag of Bobs red mill yeast. All the little packets had been picked through so I headed to the organic isle and there was a few bags of bobs red mill. I figured I could do the sour dough if I couldnt find yeast.

just get one store-bought sample and use use it as the
master starter for the yeast cultures. you need.
you will learn all about cleanliness, sterilizing, no cross contamination,
cooking gelatin (as non-contaminated food for your yeast colonies),
transferring samples of you growing yeast to new beds
to keep i growing.

great fun.
