[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1876449, member: 355878"] These days most bread is made using STIM yeast - I'm afraid I don't know what the acronym means, and can't find it on google - It was used in the mixes made by Lyons to get rapid proving, far faster than the usual yeasts available at the time. I did the testing so used to get samples of the ingredients, usually far larger than required - and even though a jar of each batch was kept, there was usually a lot left over, so I had loads of different things to use in my baking. Wheat flour would not sprout, it is too disrupted for that - and I thought that wheat which got wet and sprouted in the ear was spoiled for making bread, as the protein, gluten, was broken down - though high protein wheats might not be affected to the same extent as the ones which were grown in England several hundred years ago. Lower protein meant that the gas from the working of the yeast was not trapped in the bread and so it did not rise properly. [/QUOTE]
