L'Hirondelle Yeast, Frozen, 500 g, for bread, pizza dough and brioche.
This frozen baker's yeast is for kitchens and bakeries that mix dough every day. Use it for sandwich loaves, rolls and buns, pizza and focaccia dough, enriched doughs such as brioche and doughnuts, and laminated pastries like croissants. Weigh it to your recipe and work it into the flour with the liquid so it disperses evenly through the mix. Frozen yeast is commonly chosen because it keeps much longer than fresh yeast while still behaving in a similar way in the dough. Cool water and a slower prove generally give better flavour in bread and pizza, while warmer conditions speed things up for buns and rolls. Keep it frozen until needed, take out only what the bake requires, and reseal the pack straight away so it does not pick up moisture.
