Yeast away

To bite into hot fluffy bread starts with getting the yeast right. Too much and the bread will not shape well. Too less and you could end up with tooth losing bread. The right consistence is necessary along with how to prepare the yeast. Whether you use warm water or milk, honey, sugar or molasses for the yeast all go towards adding flavors to the fresh baked bread.

Knead right

Kneading again requires attention. You have to knead the dough a certain way, roll out, smooth out, backward, forward, all the motions necessary to add air especially to the dough. This gives the bread the soft fluffy interior. The baking classes St Louis chefs will show you their tricks to kneading the bread.
