The Bakery messed up my order, and so it seems there may be no king cake at my Mardi Gras Party (02/02/08). So, I'm trying to bake again. With yeast. This time I did some google research, and learned how to "proof" the yeast. In other words, check to make sure it's working.
First you get it hot and wet (add 1/4 c. water, between 100-100 degrees).
Then, give it some sugar (1 tsp.)
Now, run away and pretend you're not interested (let it sit for 10 minutes).
When you return, you hope it has risen, and doubled in size.
Honestly, it reminds me just a bit of dating a teenaged boy.
HAHA - I AM DELIGHTFULLY CRASS.
And the verdict? No rise. Just warm, wet, sugared yeast that has no interest in growing. It is not attracted to me at all. Turns out, I'm not a bad baker. I just have gay yeast.
