Re: [lace-chat] How well does fast rising yeast work?
It would have to be fairy yeast to make Christmas bread (Stollen) turn out light! LOL!

It doesn't work as well as regular yeast packets or the fresh cakes, which you can typically only get from a bakery or bakery section within a large grocery in the US anymore. It doesn't rise to as high or delicate a product, but works well for things like pizza dough or some cousins to "quick" kinds of breads that use yeast also. Maybe it is the gourmet cook in me or those I know, but I think many are fairly happy with it if you are not overly particular in having a really light product, are rushed for time, or are unsure of your proofing abilities, etc..

Only with care. Too much and it tastes funny. At 5:09 PM -0600 12/5/07, Dora Smith wrote: One can use more yeast?

Cake yeast, which is no longer available in supermarkets, must be dissolved in water first. Using more yeast will make the bread rise faster -- it rises faster the second time because there is more yeast in it. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

RE: [lace-chat] How well does fast rising yeast work?
I don't know if they still do it, but when my family were at home I baked bread and always got my fresh yeast from the bakery department at Sainsburys it wasn't on general sale you just had to ask for it.

Re: [lace-chat] SKOR bits
SKOR is a brand name of toffee. I assume that you could substitute other toffee bits for the SKOR bits.

[lace-chat] SKOR bits
I have found a recipe for chocolate, butterscotch shortbread which also calls for SKOR bits. Can anyone in North america tell me what SKOR bits are, please?
