Helpful hints

• Making yeast bread was once a time consuming project.  Fleishmann’s® Rapid Rise yeast reduces preparation steps and rising time. The batter in this recipe can be prepared in 15 to 20 minutes. Total time from start to table is only 1-1/2 hours!
• Temperature is very important in making yeast bread. Use a food thermometer to check liquid temperature 120°-130° F. When rising, keep dough covered in a warm, draft-free place.
• Why make yeast cornbread? All breads require a leavening agent to rise properly.  Baking soda is high in sodium, baking powder is high in sodium and phosphorus, and cream of tartar is high in potassium. In comparison, yeast is very low in all these elements. Compare on the chart below:
