You know what’s hard to find right now? Active dry yeast. Sure, toilet paper and hand sanitizer aren’t always in stock either, but if you’ve considered baking a pizza crust or a homemade loaf of bread, you know that active dry yeast is nearly impossible to find.

Why?

We could generalize and say COVID-19 and leave it at that. You’d probably nod your need in agreement, but unless you’ve suddenly become a home baker, you probably don’t really understand. Speaking of which, if you haven’t suddenly become a home baker, you’re probably going to after you read the recipe we’re about to share with you.

Many people are home all day every day now due to Safer at Home orders, and while people with school-aged children are struggling to help them keep up with their school work at home, other people are realizing they have a lot of extra time on their hands.

While some people turn to puzzles, video games or a good ‘ol Netflix binge watching session to pass the time, other people have turned to baking. There are several reasons for that. They ran out of baked goods like their favorite bread, and they want to avoid going to the store. Also, baking can be a fun hobby that leads to delicious outcomes.
