Fresh Yeast

DCL High Activity Craftbake Fresh Yeast 1kg is a professional grade fresh yeast developed for consistent, reliable baking results. Known for its strong fermentation activity, this fresh yeast helps dough rise evenly, producing bread and baked goods with good volume, structure and flavour. It has a soft, crumbly texture that blends easily into dough, making it well suited to hand mixing and machine baking alike. Fresh yeast is often chosen for its clean, rounded flavour, which develops naturally during proving without dominating the finished bake. This larger format is ideal for keen home bakers, community kitchens or anyone baking regularly who wants dependable performance in breads, rolls, pizza bases and enriched doughs.

Key Features:

• 1kg block of high activity fresh yeast.
• Designed for consistent fermentation and strong rise.
• Suitable for bread rolls pizza and enriched doughs.
• Easy to blend into dough mixes.
• Ideal for frequent baking and larger batches.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Use in classic white or wholemeal bread recipes for a steady rise and open crumb.
• Add to pizza dough for a light base with good stretch and structure.
• Bake soft rolls or buns with even shape and texture.
• Use in enriched doughs such as brioche style loaves or sweet buns.

Why do some bakers prefer fresh yeast over dried yeast?

Fresh yeast is often chosen for its predictable fermentation and subtle flavour, which can give baked goods a more rounded taste and consistent rise when used correctly.

Does high activity yeast change proving times?

Because it is more active, dough may rise more efficiently, so bakers often keep a closer eye on proving rather than relying solely on time.

Can fresh yeast be used in bread machines as well as hand baking?

Yes, it can be used in bread machines as long as it is added according to the machine instructions, usually crumbled and mixed evenly into the dough.
