So, what is torrjäst?

Torrjäst, also known as dried yeast, is a versatile and essential ingredient in baking. It is made from a single-celled fungus that ferments sugar to produce carbon dioxide, which causes dough to rise. Torrjäst is a convenient alternative to fresh yeast, as it has a long shelf life and can be easily stored in a cool, dry place. This powdery substance is commonly used in bread, pizza, and pastry recipes, and adds a distinctive flavor and texture to baked goods. Torrjäst is also a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthy addition to any diet.
