When it comes to baking, the freshness of your yeast can make or break your recipe. Whether you're whipping up soft bread rolls or a classic pizza crust, storing BAKERS Instant Dry Yeast Powder properly ensures consistent results every time. Here’s how you can keep your yeast fresh and effective for longer.

1. Store in a Cool, Dry Place Before Opening

Before opening the pack, BAKERS Instant Dry Yeast Powder should be stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and moisture. A kitchen cupboard or pantry works well, provided it's not near the oven or stove. Avoid humid areas, as moisture can activate the yeast prematurely.

2. Transfer to an Airtight Container After Opening

Once opened, transfer the remaining yeast into an airtight container. This prevents exposure to air and humidity, both of which can reduce the yeast’s potency. A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid or a sealed plastic container works best.

3. Refrigerate for Extended Freshness

Refrigeration significantly extends the shelf life of your yeast. After transferring BAKERS Instant Dry Yeast Powder into an airtight container, place it in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it can last for up to 4 months while maintaining its leavening power.

4. Freezing for Long-Term Storage

If you’ve bought yeast in bulk from Pluugin Store, consider freezing some of it. Yeast freezes well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. Just make sure it's tightly sealed in a moisture-proof container. When you're ready to use it, scoop out the required amount and let it reach room temperature before adding it to your recipe.

5. Always Check Freshness Before Use

Even with the best storage practices, it’s good to test the yeast before baking, especially if it’s been stored for a while. Dissolve a teaspoon of yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar and wait 10 minutes. If it becomes foamy, it's still active.

With the proper storage methods, BAKERS Instant Dry Yeast Powder from Pluugin Store can help you achieve perfect bakes every time. A little care goes a long way in preserving its freshness and ensuring that every loaf rises to perfection!
