Also i read to set up a side reaction with the yeast and some sugar. So for example if your using 1/2 a table spoon of yeast mix that with 1/2 a table spoon of sugar and ~a cup of warm water (~96-104*F. This should feel slightly warm to the touch, not hot but just warmer then your body tempature).
Mix well, make sure well mixed and airate. Let it sit and keep mixing every ~5 mins to keep mixed, once you see bubles or some foam starting on the top the yeast is proofing. From there add it to your mixture. I've read that mixing it with everything intially can kill the yeast.
