    You must cool liquids used in traditional yeast breads to activate the yeast cells.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because yeast cells actually need warmth to activate, not cooling. When making traditional yeast breads, the liquid used should be warm, typically between 100-110°F, to provide the ideal environment for the yeast to grow and ferment. Cooling the liquid would inhibit the yeast's activity and prevent the bread from rising properly.
