Proofing!!!!! • to test yeast for potency: If you're not sure if yeast is fresh and active, dissolve it in warm water (105° to 115°F) with a pinch of sugar. If the mixture foams after 5 to 10 minutes, the yeast is fine to use. Proofing also refers to the rising stage for yeast doughs. http://www.cdkitchen.com/features/glossary/definition/Proof http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&gbv=2&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=proofing+with+cooking&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&start=0
