I've read online that you mix instant yeast directly into the flour and that no proofing is necessary. Would proofing harm it if I want to test and be sure it's good yeast?

I always proof. Warm sugary water I'm a separate bowl.

So you do it the same way you'd use active dry yeast? Any differences?

Proofing is never necessary. The whole point of proofing is to test the yeast before you put in all the ingredients and waste your time and effort.

You can prove dry yeast if you like.

Ok. So I'll just add it to the flour. Thanks!
