Yeast is a baker's best friend as it makes cakes and breads rise and shine!. Yeast ferments and converts the sugar in the dough into carbon dioxide and ethanol to make the baked goods soft and fluffy. There are a number of yeast varieties that one can choose from the next time you decide to wear your apron. (Image: istock)

Fresh yeast, also known as compressed cake, is good for baked stuff that have a slow rise time. Fresh yeast has moist and living yeast cells packed in them. Its quick activation makes it stay active for a longer period of time. Fresh yeast is perishable and has a short shelf life so it is suggested to use it in one go. Fresh yeast is soft and mostly used by professional bakers. The moist yeast can go bad if not stored in a cool dry place. Freeze or refrigerate the yeast, if you are not using it right away.

Liquid yeast comes in small vials and pouches but it is sold in bulk. Baking industries use liquid yeast in a large scale, home bakers avoid using this. Liquid yeast is more expensive than dry yeast. When it comes to brewing, liquid yeast plays a major role for home brewers. Improper handling can lead to un satisfactory results. (Image: istock)

Instant yeast, also known as quick rise yeast is very dry. You can use instant dry yeast the moment you open the packaging. Instant yeast dissolves into the moist dough instantly because of its small size. Instant yeast has a longer shelf life comparatively and is safe to use in instalments. (Image: istock)

Active dry yeast is the most common yeast, people use to bake goodies at home. The best part of active dry yeast is that one can tell whether the yeast is still alive while in water. Active dry yeast needs to be activated before using it in your dough. This yeast remains dormant until it is soaked in warm liquid for about 10-15 minutes. This is known as blooming. (Image: istock)

Because of its small granules, rapid dry yeast dissolves and rises rapidly. Rapid yeasts are good for home bakers but one need to mix the yeast directly into the dough. This variety of yeast doesn’t need any proofing before using. (Image: istock)

If you need the yeast for everyday cooking then both active dry and instant yeast make the perfect choice. Because of their fast activation and longer shelf life, you can use them regularly without having to worry about their perishability. Instant dry yeast apart from baking breads, is also good for making pizzas at home. Fresh yeast is a popular choice among the commercial bakers for baking cakes and breads. Whatever yeast you choose, always remember even if it has a longer shelf life, one needs to store the yeast in air tight container and place it into a cool dry place. Storing your yeast properly can make it long for almost a year. Happy Baking!! (Image: Pixabay)
