Bensmom Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I have a jar of bread machine yeast that expired July 2011. Will it still work or will my bread be flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaners Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Put some in a bit of warm water with sugar. If it bubbles, it's still good. If it's weak, you can add more or you can let it rise longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 You can proof it and find out. Basically, you mix it with warm water and sugar before adding it to the recipe. In a bread machine, I'd put in the yeast, water, and sugar, see if it bubbles, then if so add the rest of the ingredients. This of course assumes you're not putting it on timer.

Bensmom Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks ladies. Nothing happened. Guess I'll be making a run to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
