So, what is levure de boulangère?
Levure de boulangère, also known as baker's yeast, is a type of yeast used as a leavening agent in baking. It is made from strains of the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is responsible for the fermentation process that causes bread dough to rise. Unlike other types of yeast, such as brewer's yeast, levure de boulangère is specifically formulated for use in bread-making and is often sold in small, single-use packets. It is an essential ingredient for making breads, croissants, and other baked goods, and can also be used to ferment other foods, such as beer and wine.
