In most bread, roll and pastry recipes, the yeast has to be "proofed", which means dissolving in warm water (110 degrees), with sugar to activate (or proof) the yeast. If the yeast begins to foam up and increase in size, then it is still good. If it doesn't, then the yeast is either too old, or the water was too hot or not warm enough. If the water is too hot, it kills the yeast, and if it's too cold, it won't dissolve and activate the yeast. You can get yeast granules in individual packets, in cake form, and granules in a jar. While you can use which ever type you prefer, it's usually best to use the kind the recipe calls for, at least until you are more familiar with the different forms of yeast, and how to use them. I prefer the kind in a jar, because I it gives me more control over how much I want to use, whereas the other types don't. The most common way to proof yeast is to put the desired amount in a bowl (I warm the bowl with hot water first), then add 1/4 cup very warm water, then sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar on top. You can stir it if you want, but it isn't necessary. The yeast should be fully proofed in about 10 minutes, and ready to add to your recipe.
