Fresh Yeast for Pizza and Flatbread

ART-BK-040 is a fresh compressed yeast format selected for pizza and flatbread production where fast dispersion, reliable gas production, and balanced dough flavor are required. It is suitable for direct mixing into flour systems or pre-dispersion into chilled process water. Typical specification targets include 68-72% moisture, 28-32% yeast solids, cream to light beige color, clean yeasty aroma, pH 4.0-6.0, and a viable yeast population commonly around 1×10^10 CFU/g, with lot-specific confirmation available through the certificate of analysis.

In pizza plants and commissaries, fresh yeast supports short-time fermentation, retarded dough, par-baked crusts, frozen dough programs, and high-throughput sheeting or balling lines. It is designed for wheat flour systems with salt, oil, sugar, malt, dairy ingredients, or improvers where formula balance and process temperature control are critical.

• Pizza dough: thin crust, pan pizza, high-hydration artisan bases, commissary dough balls, and refrigerated dough programs.
• Flatbread: naan-style breads, pita-style breads, wraps, focaccia, lavash-style sheets, and topped bakery flatbreads.
• Industrial bakery lines: sponge-and-dough, straight dough, sheeting, dividing, rounding, retarding, par-baking, and frozen dough workflows.
• Formula guidance: typical fresh yeast dosage is often 1.0-4.0% on flour weight, adjusted for flour strength, salt level, sugar level, dough temperature, fermentation time, and desired crust profile.
• Operational buyers: suitable for plant managers, procurement teams, master bakers, and R&D teams standardizing fresh yeast supply across multiple sites or seasonal demand peaks.

Store refrigerated at 0-4°C in the original sealed 25 kg multi-wall sack with liner. Keep away from heat, direct sunlight, strong odors, and moisture migration. Do not freeze unless a validated process has been confirmed by the bakery, because freeze-thaw stress can reduce activity and handling quality. Under recommended refrigerated conditions, typical shelf life is 21-35 days from production, depending on production date, transport temperature, and local cold-chain performance.

Use first-in, first-out stock rotation and bring only the required quantity to the mixing area. Crumble or disperse evenly to avoid localized yeast concentration. For long fermentation or chilled pizza dough programs, validate dosage through bench trials and production-scale fermentation curves.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-BK-040 as an inquiry-priced bulk ingredient for bakery manufacturing, with quality documentation matched to the shipment and destination market. Available documents may include certificate of analysis, specification sheet, allergen statement, food-grade declaration, non-GMO statement where applicable, and safety data or handling information. HACCP-aligned manufacturing documentation and food-safety certification evidence such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher may be available on request depending on source lot and production site.

Incoming inspection can include packaging integrity, temperature on receipt, sensory check, activity verification, and review of lot codes. For multi-site bakeries, ArtemisYeast can support specification alignment, sample qualification, and recurring supply planning.
