It helps to activate the yeast (especially important for dry yeasts). Yeasts, like many other microorganisms thrive in warm, moist environments. Too hot and it will kill the yeasts, too cold and it will stunt growth.

What is the purpose of scalding milk for yeast rolls?
Scalding milk used in bread making was done because historically it was necessary to kill some of the bacteria present in milk before introducing the desired yeast, because the milk is then kept warm to encourage the growth of the yeast, and any undesirable micro-organisms would also grow in these conditions.Modern pasteurized, sealed and refrigerated milk is less likely to require this treatment.Scaling involves heating the milk until it is about to start boiling, then removing it from the heat.
What happens to milk when yeast is added to it?
Milk, rice milk and soy milk are yeast-free products
Does a yeast infection look like milk?
Yes a yeast infection can look like milk.
What liquid increases nutritive values of yeast doughs?
Anything you want, provided it does not kill the yeast and consists mostly of water. Salty liquids will not work well because salt in large quantities will kill your yeast. But milk, consomme, fat-free broth, left-over soup, apple sauce, milk, curds, virtually anything will work. Be careful of the oil or fat content of what you add--bread will not rise well if excessively oily.Consider adding: eggs, tofu water etc.
Why is skim milk sugar not fermentable by yeast?
MILK SUGAR IS FERMENTABLE BY YEAST. BUT IT PREFERS SUCROSE (TABLE SUGAR). IT MOSTLY TAKES LONGER, UNLESS YOU HAVE A YEAST THAT HAS THE ENZYME SYSTEMS FOR LACTOSE (MILK SUGAR), WHICH SOME DOES.
What is Hard Lean Dough?
A lean dough is a dough that has very little or no fat content. An example of this would be a baguette. Also, a comparison between 'lean' doughs and 'enriched' doughs might be of help: ... 'lean' doughs, by nature, are made up of the 'essential' four (4) ingredient-elements necessary to any bread dough's formula (e.g.: baguette): 1) flour 2) water 3) yeast 4) salt 'enriched' doughs, by comparison, integrate all that 'lean' doughs require, plus enriching sources of shortening(s) and sweetener(s) ... possibly one or more of the following list (e.g.: challah): 5) butter 6) oil 7) milk 8) cream 9) eggs
How do you dissolve dry yeast in water?
Your recipe should indicate where and how to add the yeast, but yeast does not dissolve well in milk (if at all). Yeast forms into large clumps when mixed directly with milk and will take much longer to activate. I made this mistake the first time I tried to substitute milk for water when making bread. The usual way of adding yeast to such a recipe is to fully dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit). If the water is not warm enough, it won't activate the yeast and if it's too warm, it can kill the yeast. One of my colleagues proofs the yeast in the usual way (1/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp yeast), then adds the rest of the yeast to the water, mixes the dry ingredients with the milk for the recipe, then adds the water-yeast mixture to that. He claims that it works perfectly. Of course, if you use 1/4 cup of water to dissolve your yeast, subtract 1/4 cup of milk from the recipe unless otherwise indicated. And also make sure you're using the proper yeast for whatever it is you are baking.
What liquid makes yeast active?
Milk or water will do it.
What does scalded milk do for a recipe?
Most likely the recipe has yeast in it. Keeping the ingredients warm helps the yeast work. For other things, it would help the milk to blend with the other ingredients if there is shortening in the mix the milk is added to.
