Fearless baker Erin McDowell is back to explain all things yeast. In this episode of "Bake It Up a Notch," Erin will show you how to make an easy lean bread (ciabatta) and a more complex enriched bread (salted butter brioche). This #bakingtutorial also includes explanations of different types of yeast (and when to use them), preferments, baker's percentage, how to adjust your rise times and the visual cues for proofing a yeasted recipe. Happy baking!
