Is quick yeast same as instant yeast?

There are two main types of yeast that you'll find in the grocery store—active dry or instant rise (sometimes called quick rise or rapid-rise). Active-dry yeast is the variety that the majority of recipes call for.

Will dough rise after being refrigerated?

Yes, risen dough CAN be placed in a refrigerator. Putting risen dough in the fridge is a common practice of home and professional bakers alike. Since yeast is more active when it's warm, putting yeasted dough in a refrigerator or chilling it slows the yeast's activity, which causes dough to rise at a slower rate.

Should I wash Banneton liner?

What can I use if I don't have a Banneton?

A colander, with a little help, can serve as an improvised banneton for proofing bread dough.

Does a Banneton make a difference?
