Ask HN: Any experienced bread makers out there? (Question about yeast)
I am making some apple cinnamon bread and the recipe calls for two packets of yeast.<p>It is my understanding that yeast multiplies itself by through consumption of sugar, so my question is:<p>Can I use a single packet of yeast with a bit of extra sugar and just let it proof longer before making the dough? Instead of using two packets? Or is there another purpose behind using more yeast?
