Tired of Store-Bought Yeast? Make Your Own Today Easy & Affordable

Hey there, food enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into a time-honored tradition - making homemade yeast. Tired of the additives and refined ingredients in commercial bread? Let's take control of our baking and create something truly delicious.

 Back in my grandma's time, homemade yeast was a necessity. My mom used to help her make bhaturas and khameeri roti. It was a time-consuming process, but the results were always worth it.

 While we have refrigeration today, our ancestors had to use small batches immediately. Now, we can store and maintain homemade yeast for a long time.

 Intrigued? Let's learn how to make and maintain homemade yeast. And don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments below!



We'll need:

    • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 tablespoon curd
    • 1/2 teaspoon jaggery powder
    • 2 tablespoons water 

  • Now, let's discuss the role of each ingredient:

    • Whole wheat flour: Provides nutrients for yeast growth.
    • Curd: Contains lactic acid bacteria, aids in fermentation.
    • Jaggery powder: Natural sweetener, provides energy for yeast.
    • Warm water: Activates yeast, creates favorable environment for growth.

  • Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir until a thick paste forms.

  • Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it sit in a warm place for at least 24 hours, but it may take up to 2-3 days. The mixture should become bubbly.

  • If it doesnt, stir it once. Allow it to rest again and it should be ready.

  •  Once the yeast starter is ready, you can use it to make bread, pizza dough, or other baked goods.

How to store instant yeast?

Storage of homemade yeast is easy and requires regular feeding of the yeast starter.
Shift it to the refrigerator else it might get sour at room temperature.
It will rise and ferment in the fridge.
You may use it as is for a bread recipe.
