into
2
batches
and
complete
processing.
Pinch
dough
to
make
sure
that
it
is
not
too
stiff
to
knead
comfortably
by

We
recommend
that
you
always
test
activity
of
yeast
before
using
it
by
stirring
it
and
at
least
1/2
teaspoon
sugar
into
about
1/3
cup
warm
liquid
(105°
-
120°F).
Within
10
minutes
foam
should
develop,
indicating
yeast
is
active.
Do
not
use
dry
yeast
after
expira
tion
date
on
package.
Avoid
killing
yeast
cells
by
dis
solving
yeast
in
too
warm
water
or
overheating
dough
by
exces
sive
kneading.
Dissolve
yeast
in
about
1/3
cup
of
warm
liquid
at
105°-120°F.
All
other
liquid
should
be
cold.
Don't
knead
so
long
that
it
becomes
overheated.
The
ideal
temperature
for
kneaded
dough
is
80°F;
it
should
never
exceed
100-F.
Let
dough
rise
in
draft-free
envi
ronment
of
about
80°-90°F.
Dough
containing
whole
grain
flour
will
take
longer
to
rise
than
dough
made
of
white
flour
only.

Next
time,
feel
dough
to
be
sure
it
is
uniformly
soft,
pliable
and
slightly
sticky
before
setting
it
aside
to

Let
