Yes, we often use a sugar to activate the yeast and start the fermentation process.

Hi Anjali, we generally advise against doubling yeasted recipes, because the amount of yeast does not necessarily need to be doubled as well. It really depends on the exact recipe.

Hi Seiby, we don’t recommend adding more yeast to the bread. Is it over baked by chance? That could be why it seems to be hardening quickly.

Can I add yeast to the Artisan Homemade Loaf Bread? The bread extremely hardens after 3-4 days, even though I place it in the bread bag. Please advise, thank you

A query…when we halve aa yeasted dough recipe…should we halve the amount of yeast too?

Hi Gwenn, for the cranberry nut no-knead bread, we recommend using warm water (about 95°F (35°C)). Hope this helps!
