Making yeast from fresh yeast

4 replies

Hi. I have one block of fresh yeast left in the freezer and cannot get hold of any other yeast for love nor money. Does anyone know if I can make more yeast from what I have, or is it best starting from scratch? All I could find online was a method from scratch involving raisins, and one other about 'feeding' existing yeast with flour and water, but quantities are not clear.
Thank you in advance

You could try the old dough/pate fermentee method - basically you reserve a decent size chunk of the dough to add to the next batch of dough as a pre-ferment. Much quicker to get started on the first batch than trying to get a sourdough starter going but you have to add time as a key ingredient when you’re actually making the dough!

Thank you. Think I'm going to go the sourdough starter route.
