KronJäst Organic

Fresh organic yeast produced from organic ingredients is KRAV-labeled and certified by KRAV (Sweden’s best-known eco-label for organic food). The yeast is slightly darker in color and a bit softer in texture, and may have a different aroma compared to regular yeast, since the organic yeast is made using different ingredients and methods.

When given an extended proofing time, this yeast provides good leavening power in doughs for white bread. The yeast cells work productively with the nutrients in the flour (the sugar from the starch), but require more proofing time for white bread and are not recommended for sweet doughs with added sugar (more than 2.5 tablespoons of sugar per 14 dl of flour). If you want to bake bread, we recommend extending the respective proofing time by about 30 minutes. If you want to use KronJäst Organic for sweet doughs, the respective proofing time should be increased by at least 60 minutes.

• KronJäst Organic is stirred into lukewarm dough liquid (about 37 °C) or cold dough liquid (about 10 °C) when using the cold fermentation method. Then, mix in the remaining baking ingredients before kneading everything together into a smooth and elastic dough.
