Yeast Bread Unit

To start with our yeast breads unit, we tested how long to takes for the yeast to rise. So, with our no knead bread, we made two batches - one that had yeast rise for 15 minutes and one that had it rise overnight. When we compared the two breads, I realized that the bread was less dense when it rose overnight. This was because the yeast had time to multiply which helped the bread rise.
The second yeast food that we made was pizza, where we also let the yeast rise overnight. That allowed the pizza to be fluffy and hold up all the ingredients.
However, when we made the sweet dough, the yeast did not rise at all. We had to boil the milk and then put the yeast in the hot milk. We were supposed to make sure that the milk was not too hot to kill the yeast, but we didn't wait long enough and the yeast died in contact with the milk. So, our dough didn't rise at all and we had to use part of another group's dough to make or cinnamon rolls. Next time I make them I'll be sure to wait for the milk to be the right temperature for the yeast to react and rise.
