Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Mix one cup ice water with one cup boiling water— you will have the right temperature for the yeast (a small plant that has been dormant for a long time) to activate. Add a pinch of sugar or bit of agave to the water, stir with a chopstick, add the yeast, stir again and let sit for ten minutes. If it does not get foamy, it is not active and you need fresh yeast.
