How to Use

Activate by dissolving 1 teaspoon of yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (not hot — around 100–110°F / 38–43°C) with a pinch of sugar. Wait 5–10 minutes until foamy, confirming the yeast is active. Add to your flour mixture and knead to make naan, bread, or pizza dough. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size. Store sealed in a cool, dry place or refrigerator for extended shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between active dry yeast and instant yeast? Active dry yeast must be dissolved in warm water before use (proofed), while instant yeast can be mixed directly into dry ingredients. Ganesh Dry Yeast requires proofing first.

How do I know if the yeast is still active? Proof it in warm water with a little sugar — if it foams within 10 minutes, it is active. If there is no foam, the yeast has expired and should be replaced.
