So, what is frischhefe?

Frischhefe, also known as fresh yeast or cake yeast, is a type of yeast used in baking to help dough rise. Unlike dried yeast, frischhefe is a moist, perishable product that must be stored in the refrigerator and used within a few days. Frischhefe is made up of live yeast cells that are active and can help dough rise quickly, producing a soft and fluffy texture. This ingredient is commonly used in the production of bread, rolls, and other baked goods, and is favored by many bakers for its superior flavor and texture compared to other types of yeast.
