I found a new bread recipe I want to try but I'm wondering about the amount of yeast. It makes two large loaves (using extra long pans) and only 1/4 teaspoon of yeast? The dough sits out overnight, so I don't know if that makes any difference. TIA

Overnight artisan bread uses only 1/2 tsp yeast.

A small amount of yeast just takes more time to rise. The big pro is that it develops more flavor.
Quick-rising doughs use more yeast, which you can certainly add, but they don't develop the same flavor profile. ---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ---------- Just out of curiosity, how much flour and water?

We have a couple of bread recipes that use a small amount of yeast like that and then sit overnight. It works fine (ends up with a slightly sourdough flavor too).
Now if you want your bread to rise in 30 min you can put in 2 Tbs instead! That works too lol.

Thank you! I don't have any experience with overnight dough so that is all very helpful.
ViolaMum - this is the ingredient list 6 cups white flour 2 cups whole-wheat flour 5 Tbsp sugar 3 Tbsp salt ¼ tsp instant yeast 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted 4 cups room-temperature water

That looks like the proportions I used for years before going gluten free.
I hope you are happy with it. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Here is the full recipe if anyone would like it. I'm not sure about the rest of the site so I broke the link.

Coming back with my review.....
The only modification I made was to use equal parts white and whole wheat flour. It has a good texture and definitely easy to make, but it's a batter bread so it performs a little differently than a kneaded dough. (I don't think the picture on the website is the same recipe ![]() https://h eavenlyhomemakers.com/whole-wheat-stir-and-pour-sandwich-bread-yes-it-works - this is what we will be sticking with for a fast bread option.

Thanks for that link and your results. I am going to give it a try.
I used to make bread years ago but gave up. I think I'm ready to try again ![]()

I love the flavour of overnight bread, but I wish I could get what I want without such a thick crust!
I usually use just I pinch of yeast in my overnight dough (that also uses 6 C flour).
