HOW TO TEST YEAST TO MAKE SURE IT IS STILL GOOD
Step 1: Check the expiry date on your package jar of yeast. If it is way out of date (over two months past the expiry date), chances are that it is no longer ok. Yeast is a living organism so it will eventually be less effective as the month's pass.

Step 2: Prepare a 1/4 cup of warm water. The temperature should be between 105°F - 110°F. This is very important because if the temperature is too low, your yeast won't wake up. If your temperature is too high, you will kill the yeast. So sad.

Step 3: Dissolve 2 tsp of sugar into the water. Yeast needs a little bite to eat while it's waking up and sugar is its favorite food. Yum.

Step 4: Add 1 tsp of yeast to the sugar mixture and stir gently for about 20 seconds. Your yeast is going to find all of the yummy sugar molecules and get all happy in there.

Step 5: Wait for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, you should see bubbles and froth. Your yeast will also have the familiar yeasty aroma. If your yeast looks airy and you can see it producing little bubbles within the sugar water, congratulations! You are good to go ahead with your recipes.

My yeast is expired. What should I do with it?
Expired yeast can be used in many ways. If you have a compost yeast is great for adding nutrients to your composting pile. Some people even use yeast for plant food on some plants. Yeast adds nutrients to the soil so if you have a garden, you can work your old yeast right into the soil too.
