Amount of Yeast Needed.

If the bread is to rise quickly a large amount of yeast must be used and the bread must be kept warm. Less yeast will be needed in the summer than in the winter. The following proportions will help some in judging the amount to be used. 1/4 yeast cake to 2 C. liquid will take eight hours to rise in winter time. 1/6 yeast cake to 2 C. liquid will take eight hours to rise in summer time. 1 yeast cake to 2 C. liquid will take five hours if kept warm. 2 yeast cakes to 2 C. liquid will take three hours if kept. warm. 2+ yeast cakes to 2 C. liquid will take one and one-half hours if kept warm.

This large amount of yeast adds materially to the cost of the bread.
