Italian active dry yeast (500 g) - Mulino Caputo

$22.99
Description

Active dry yeast made in Italy by Mulino Caputo, the same mill behind the Tipo 00 flours you already bake with. It is built for the Neapolitan method: very little yeast, a lot of time.

That is where consistency becomes everything. You are dosing in fractions of a gram, so any drift in strength shows up in the dough. This one rises predictably, batch after batch, at the same pace and with the same hold.

What you get is a dough that builds its flavour slowly instead of rising fast and falling flat. The cornicione climbs, the crumb opens, the bite stays light.

It goes straight into the flour, no rehydrating. Nothing to prepare, nothing to watch.

500 g, sized for anyone making dough often.

Specifications
  • Type: active dry yeast
  • Format: 500 g
  • Origin: Italy
  • Recommended dose: 0.1 to 0.3 g per kilo of flour on a long ferment
  • Unopened: 12 to 24 months depending on the date on the packaging
  • Once opened: up to 6 months in the fridge, about 1 year in the freezer
  • Keep somewhere cool and dry, away from moisture
How to work with it

The dose

  • 0.1 to 0.3 g per kilo of flour for a 24 to 72 hour ferment
  • 1 to 3 g per kilo for a short 4 to 8 hour ferment
  • Weigh on a precision scale, a spoon means nothing at this scale

Storage

  • Portion it as soon as you open it: a small jar in the fridge, the rest in sealed bags in the freezer
  • Up to six months in the fridge, about a year in the freezer
  • Weigh straight from the frozen bag without thawing, then put it back in the cold right away
  • Moisture and heat are what kill it fastest

Not sure it is still alive? Stir a pinch into warm water with a little sugar. If nothing foams after ten minutes, the yeast is done.

To find your exact dose for your fermentation time, use the dough calculator.

FAQ

Why so little yeast?

Because time does the work instead. A long ferment with very little yeast builds flavour that a fast rise never gives you, and the dough sits lighter afterwards.

Do you need to rehydrate it first?

Not necessarily. You can mix it straight into the flour, or dissolve it in a little warm water first if you would rather confirm it is still active.

How long does a 500 g bag last?

By volume: at 0.2 g per kilo of flour, 500 g covers roughly 2,500 kg. By freshness: up to six months in the fridge, about a year in the freezer. That is why we portion it on day one, a small jar in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. Weigh straight from the frozen bag, no thawing, then put it back in the cold right away.
