I have a jar of bread machine yeast that has been in the fridge that I just used to to start making bread in my machine. But when I looked at the lid it said it expired in 12/07. That is almost a year old! Does it go bad, can it make you sick? Or does it just not rise anymore after the expiration date? Just wondering if I should go to the store and get some more and start a new loaf or should this one be ok?
Testing Yeast:
Sugar is used in testing yeast. To test yeast: Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the yeast when stirring it into the water to dissolve. If it foams and bubbles within 10 minutes, you know the yeast is alive and active.
