No way."

It doesn't have to be "to the minute" type of timing, but you can't just let it sit for hours and hours...it will overproof and deflate itself. <br /><br />"I've never heard of instant yeast. What's the advantage of using it? What's the difference between it and active dry yeast? And how does it (if at all) affect how the dough rises?"<br /><br />Sometimes it's called Rapid Rise yeast. I used to only use it with recipes that called specifically for instant yeast, but now I mainly just use Rapid Rise yeast all of the time (I buy it in bulk). In recipes that call for instant yeast, usually they eliminate the first rising time. You just let the dough "rest" for 10 minutes before shaping it...then you shape it and give it a full rising time. But...I haven't had any negative effects to two full rising times...and often spreading out the baking that way fits my groove better (I start the dough rising, then make the scones, get back to the dough, wash up all the dishes, etc etc.). <br /><br />There is something chemically different about the two kinds...and I've read what that difference is and quickly forgot. Sorry about that. ;)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119941917321754796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362932321057027355.post-35390475742506456642010-05-03T12:01:07.666-04:002010-05-03T12:01:07.666-04:00Jumping into a warm milk bath isn't appealing ...Jumping into a warm milk bath isn't appealing to me personally right now because of this soupy, hot weather we're having, BUT I'll eat those rolls any day, any weather, any season! Sounds like they're delicious!<br /><br />More baking questions for you: I've never heard of instant yeast. What's the advantage of using it? What's the difference between it and active dry yeast? And how does it (if at all) affect how the dough rises?<br /><br />Thanks, Queen Bee.Mama Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102510420296912721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362932321057027355.post-62165073920999730022010-05-03T11:46:10.708-04:002010-05-03T11:46:10.708-04:00Is it bad to let the dough rise for longer than th...Is it bad to let the dough rise for longer than the time in the recipe?
