Hi Sahmini.
Welcome to the Scoolinary community, and thank you for your questions!
Here are the answers to your inquiries:
1. Substituting fresh yeast with instant yeast:
Yes, you can use instant yeast instead of fresh yeast. The conversion is:
Instant yeast = 1/3 of fresh yeast
For this Sesame Hamburger Buns recipe by Chef Hans Ovando:
25 g fresh yeast ≈ 8 g instant yeast
Add the instant yeast directly to the flour—there’s no need to dissolve it in water beforehand.
2. Storing hamburger buns:
At room temperature, store them in an airtight container or plastic bag for 2 to 3 days before they start drying out.
If the weather is very hot or humid, it’s best to refrigerate them in a sealed bag, though this may slightly affect the texture.
3. Freezing hamburger buns:
Yes, they freeze well. For best preservation:
Let the buns cool completely.
Wrap them in plastic wrap or store them in airtight bags.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
To use, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5-10 minutes to restore their texture.
I hope this information helps!
Best regards.
