I have a complicated relationship with yeastI think it senses my fear.
Consequently, I am an unreliable baker who tries his best to swing but often misses.

This is how and why I recently decided (in desperation) to microwave yeast.
How It Started
One morning, I had a craving for fluffy, yeast-risenAngel Biscuits.
I had made them once before, with surprisingly great success.
So I got out my baking essentials and proceeded with the recipe.
I took a deep breath as I scrounged a yeast packet from the cupboard.
You got this, I said to myself.
Ten minutes later, I discovered that my Yeast Curse had returned!
There was no visible foamingjust murky, yucky yeast water.
Flummoxed, I decided to scratch my plans for Angel Biscuits and pivot to regular, perfectly deliciousButtermilk Biscuits.
