Submitted by shi on May 20, 2006 - 3:17am how to economise on yeastI find it difficult to get good quality yeast. I read somewhere that a piece of bread dough can be stored in the fridge and can u be used the next day or later on for mixing in the next bread as a yeast or starter(something called chef I think). Is this true? I don't want to use a sourdough starter but would like to ecomonise on yeast? I made a polish for my two bread attempts can I save some of the polish and use it the next day or within the next week. Any advise.

Yes, you can save some of your dough (in the fridge) for a new loaf the next day. But you will still need a bit of fresh yeast. It's called a chef or pâte fermentée. It's used to improve the flavor of the bread, not to economise on the yeast.
But why don't you use a dry instant yeast? Available in almost every supermarked, reliable, and when bought in bulk, cheap (no waste)
