Fresh yeast in Phuket, when I like to make buns. Like buns, bread and the like?

[Phuketscooter]

Please tell me if you know if someone have fresh yeast in stock here or I have to order. Buns, bread is so good with fresh yeast.

Only to remember to never mix salt and fresh yeast. As salt kills the yeast.

Thanks in advanced for the help.

I see nobody has replied to your question, possibly because it has been asked once or twice before.

Firstly, I have never seen fresh yeast in Thailand.

This doesn’t mean it can’t be found but you are wasting your time looking for it. There is no difference between fresh and dried yeast if used properly. And dried yeast is widely available.

Salt can kill yeast but only if you add far too much.

The normal amount of salt in any bread recipe will just give it flavour.

Salt also acts as a retardant, slowing down the action of the yeast.

Long, slow fermentation improves the quality of bread and is what allows it to stand apart from the factory made product.
