Instant Dry Yeast for Chilled Dough

ART-BK-028 is an instant dry yeast developed for lean to moderately enriched chilled dough used in pizza bases, flatbreads, focaccia-style products, and par-baked crust programs. It is produced as free-flowing beige granules with rapid rehydration during mixing, allowing direct addition to dry ingredients without a separate activation step. The product is intended for doughs held under refrigeration, typically 0–8 °C, where stable yeast activity, controlled proof response, and clean fermentation character are required after 24–72 hours of cold storage.

Typical specification targets include moisture not more than 5.5%, viable yeast count commonly specified around 1.0×10^10 CFU/g or higher at packing, protein about 40–50% on dry basis, and low foreign matter. Granulation is designed for uniform dispersion in flour systems; a common working range is approximately 0.3–1.0 mm, subject to final lot specification. For bakery category sourcing and related dry yeast formats, see baking yeast products. Dosage is process-dependent; chilled pizza dough often starts at 0.2–0.8% of flour weight, with adjustment for flour strength, salt level, dough temperature, retarding time, and target bake schedule.

• Pizza commissaries and chain bakeries: designed for centralized mixing, balling, chilled distribution, and final proof at store or foodservice site.
• Flatbread and sandwich bread lines: suitable for naan-style, lavash-style, pita-type, and sheeted flatbread processes where cold dough holding is used to manage production timing.
• Industrial frozen and chilled dough plants: supports formulation trials for refrigerated dough, par-baked crusts, and bake-off programs requiring repeatable fermentation response.
• Artisan and wholesale bakeries: useful where long, cool fermentation is part of the flavor and texture profile, while maintaining consistent handling from sack to sack.
• R&D and technical service teams: can be evaluated against flour absorption, dough temperature, salt, oil, sugar, and retarder profiles before scale-up. Request a bulk quote on request with target application, annual volume, and packaging preference.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong odors, and chemical materials. Recommended storage is below 25 °C with relative humidity controlled to avoid moisture pick-up. Under suitable storage conditions, typical shelf life is up to 24 months from production date, subject to the certificate of analysis and local distribution conditions. Once opened, close the sack tightly or transfer to a clean, dry, food-contact container and use promptly.

For best performance, add the yeast directly to flour or other dry ingredients and avoid direct contact with concentrated salt, sugar syrup, ice water pockets, or high-shear localized heat. Target final dough temperature should be validated by the bakery; chilled dough programs often require cooler mix temperatures and controlled retarder loading. Because yeast performance depends on flour quality, water chemistry, salt, fat, sugar, and storage time, pilot trials are recommended before changing production formulas.

ART-BK-028 is supplied for food manufacturing use with lot traceability, retained-sample control, and batch-specific documentation. A certificate of analysis can include moisture, sensory attributes, microbiological indicators, leavening activity or viability parameters, and packaging confirmation where applicable. Food-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-GMO status, Halal, Kosher, HACCP, ISO 22000, or FSSC 22000 documentation may be available on request depending on production site and shipment lot; buyers should confirm required documents before purchase order placement.
