Processed
Sweet Dough Strain
A tier
Sweet dough strains are bakery yeasts aimed at cinnamon rolls, Danish, and other enriched, sugary doughs—overlapping with osmotolerant marketing. They keep fermenting when sugar would slow a basic lean strain. Choose them for sticky buns and holiday breads when labels say sweet dough or osmotolerant. Good performance is a steady proof and tender crumb; failure looks like a dense, under-risen swirl loaf. Keep yeast fresh; sugar cannot resurrect dead cells.
