Fresh yeast or dry yeast – what is better for Berliners?
When it comes to yeast dough, the question often arises: Fresh yeast or dry yeast? I personally am a big fan of Dry yeast – just because they is durable longer and can be easily dosed. In addition, I always have them in the pantry, while fresh yeast often lacks when I need them.
Work for this recipe Both variants wonderful. Important to know:
✔ 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g) = ½ cube fresh yeast (21 g)
✔ Fresh yeast is dissolved in lukewarm liquid, Dry yeast Can be added directly to the flour.
Prepare yeast dough correctly – that’s how it works
The choice of yeast is only part of the secret – these basic rules are much more decisive for a perfect, fluffy dough:
✅ Use plant milk lukewarm – If it is too hot, she destroys the yeast cultures. Are optimal 30–35 ° C.
✅ Bring the vegan butter & quartal calender at room temperatureso that all the ingredients connect well.
✅ Do not work in drafts – Hefe may be warm and protected.
✅ Knead the dough for a long time – at least 10 minutespreferably with a food processor so that the glue scaffolding develops well.
✅ Take enough time to go – at least 60–90 minutesso that the volume can double.
✅ Cover – A slightly damp kitchen towel or cling film prevent the dough from drying out.
✅ Don’t ungregate the dough too much – Form gently after walking so that the airiness is preserved.
✅ Consider oven temperature – Do not bake too hot, otherwise the Berliners will become too tight before they are through on the inside.
If you look at these points, your yeast dough will be Super soft, fluffy and perfect for the Berliners from the oven!
Which flour is ideal for vegan Berliners?
So yours Oven Berliner nice airy and soft becomes, the Choice of the right flour particularly important. Basically, the recipe works with Wheat flour (Type 550) or Fine spelled flour (Type 630) preferably. These types of flour have exactly the right structure so that the yeast dough works well and the Berliners get their typical fluffy consistency.
Whole grain flour or alternative types of flour are less suitable for this recipe – They make the dough heavier and the Berlin poets. Since we are the donuts vegan and baked in the oven Prepare, we should not do any experiments when choosing the flour.
