• To test yeast activity, dissolve it in water at 113–122°F (45–50°C).
• For optimal results, use high-sugar-tolerant yeast, especially for sweet bread recipes.
• Always measure ingredients accurately. Even small variations can affect the outcome.
• Avoid opening the lid during the kneading and rising cycles, as this can affect the bread's texture.
