Possible bread flour shortage
Re: Possible bread flour shortage
if you have flour that you bought awhile ago (couple months or so), and forgot to freeze for a bit, can you still do so and then store? would it be worth it? luckily didnt buy too much just a couple bags.....

Do you use fresh yeast? The kind that is in a refrigerated area of the store? It can be frozen for about 3 months. Wrap each cube in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then in a plastic storage bag. If it is dry yeast it will do fine in the freezer in the jar that is came in for up to a year of longer. Not sure about yeast in strips. They can be frozen but I would put them in plastic bag or a jar in the freezer.

Kat, you can also keep the yeast in jars in your refrigerator. I even store my opened jars in there and just bring them up to air temperature when I use them. The unused portion goes right back in the fridge until the next time.

I buy cases of Carnation Powdered Milk (in the round containers with the plastic lids) that I keep in the freezer and use just for cooking. I also buy Carnation condensed for the same reason but I try not to get more than 6-8 cans at once.
