id=\"faq-question-1744084340608\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is yeast dissolved in liquid before using?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Before instant yeast, active dry yeast was dissolved in liqiud to soften it so it would become one with the rest of the ingredients.  While it is technically not necessary to dissolve instant yeast, I still add it to liquid to give it a good start. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744084467697\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is bread flour always used with yeast?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not always, but it is often specified because it is stronger than all-purpose flour, it rises higher when baked.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744084562800\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does dried fruit always have to be soaked.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends upon how dry it is.

If it is, put in an oven with the light turned on.  Place an instant thermometer in the oven with the bread.  Check it in about 45 to 60 minutes to make sure it is not too hot.  It should not be hotter than about 80\u00b0 to 85\u00b0F.  If it is, prop the door open with a wood spoon. <\/li>\n<li>Any 8 to 9 cup bake-proof container can be used, especially if it is tall.
