| - Trockenhefe vs frische Hefe: 2 bags of dry yeast (2x7g=14g) => 42g of fresh yeast (1 dice); Yeast (living organism: single-celled fungus) metabolize sugars → fermentation produces CO₂ gas + ethanol + flavor compounds (organic acids, esters, and alcohols add aroma). Yeast produces enzymes that break down starches into simpler sugars → more food for yeast and better browning. Fermentation can improve digestibility. Optimal temp: ~35–40 °C (95–105 °F), | - Trockenhefe vs frische Hefe: 2 bags of dry yeast (2x7g=14g) => 42g of fresh yeast (1 dice); Yeast (living organism: single-celled fungus) metabolize sugars → fermentation produces CO₂ gas + ethanol + flavor compounds (organic acids, esters, and alcohols add aroma).
