All-natural—free from artificial chemicals, crafted using purely traditional methods. Sustainable—save a portion of your dough (a "starter") so you don’t need to keep buying new yeast. Step-by-Step InstructionsPrepare lukewarm water (ensure it is not hot—heat will kill the yeast).Dissolve 1 packet of yeast in the water, stir well, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.Combine with flour and other ingredients, then knead until smooth and elastic.Cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size—this typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.Gently deflate the dough, then shape it as desired.Let it rise again until light and airy, then steam, bake, or fry.To save a starter: set aside a portion of the dough before shaping, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator, and use it in place of store-bought yeast for your next batch.⚠️ Important NotesNever use hot water—it must be lukewarm; heat will kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.Room temperature matters—if it’s cold, move the dough to a warmer spot; note that rising will take longer in cooler conditions.Store dry yeast in a cool, dry place—or keep it in the refrigerator to ensure it stays fresh for months.If using a saved starter, remove it from the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature before use.Since there are no artificial leavening agents, the process requires a bit more patience—but the results are far more delicious!The dough may not rise as quickly as it would with commercial instant yeast—this is perfectly normal for a natural fermentation process.
