Instructions
- To make a yeast cake, start with a loaf of freshly risen bread dough.
- Homemade bread dough is best but you can use frozen bread dough you have allowed to rise if necessary.
- Remove a piece of the bread dough that is equal to the size of your fist.
- Put the dough into a dish.
- Add enough warm, not hot, water to produce a thin batter.
- Once you have a thin batter made, add enough flour to turn the batter into a very stiff dough.
- If you prefer, you can add in a mixture of flour, cornmeal or artisian flours such as rice or potato flour.
- The approximate amount of dry ingredients will be close to fifty percent of the wet ingredients.
- When the dough is stiff, use a rolling pin to make a flat dough that is approximately three-quarters of an inch thick.
- Immediately cut the dough into squares that are two and a half inches on all sides.
- Place the squares in a dark place where they can dry.
- Once dry, the squares can be cut in half or you can cut them as you use them.
- Each two and a half inch square will make two loaves of bread.
- Simply use the bread squares in place of regular yeast in your recipe.
