What does “very warm or hot tap water” mean?
A. This is the hot water that comes from your faucet after running it for a minute or two. It will be very warm to the touch. Most faucets get the water warm enough to activate the yeast, but not hot enough to kill it. If you want to check it with a thermometer, the ideal water temperature for Pizza Crust Yeast is 120° to 130°F.
