===Can fresh yeast be used in a breadmaker?===

Your breadmaker manual probably says "NO", but I beg to differ.

You cannot use [[:Category:Bread and baking|fresh yeast]] ([[:Category:Bread and baking|cake yeast]], [[:Category:Bread and baking|block yeast]], [[:Category:Bread and baking|real yeast]]) in a [[breadmaker]] set on automatic and bake it with the timer function, however '''as long as you prepare the [[yeast]] before hand and get it 'started' you can use your [[breadmaker]] to make a far better loaf than your breadmaker would normally make'''.
===Storing fresh yeast===
Fresh yeast has a short shelf-life as it is a 'live' product. This should not be a problem though.
* Fresh yeast lasts for about 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
* Fresh yeast lasts for 3 months in the freezer.

If you crumble the yeast before freezing it and keep it in an airtight [[Lock & Lock box]], you can pick out 15 gram portions as and when you need them.
===Our personal breadmaking===
We moved to the country (Norfolk UK), three years ago and have baked a fresh loaf of bread '''every''' two or three days using our [[Panasonic Breadmaker]]. We have had a few failures over the years but they have all been attributed to problems with the [[yeast]].

We have made lots of improvements to our 'standard bread making recipe', the most effective ones thus far have been very simple and are easy for you to replicate:
# Use the longest cycle that you breadmaker has available - on the [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502]] this is Menu number 8 - The French bake; a 6 hour cycle. The result is an amazingly light bread with a baguette-like [[crumb]].
# Always mix all of the [[sugar]], [[yeast]] and water in a separate bowl and leave it for about 1 hour in a warm place before adding to the breadmaker and making remained of the loaf automatically.
# Use [[honey]] instead of [[sugar]] - the biggest improvement to date
# Use fresh yeast instead of [[dried active yeast]]
