Red Star Active Dry Yeast is a special culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The moisture is removed in such a way that cell viability and leavening powder are retained. This results in a granular form of yeast designed to be rehydrated before use. Red Star Active Dry Yeast can be used in all yeast-leavened goods with either straight or sponge doughs. It is normally applied in a ratio of 40% to 50% of compressed yeast weight requirements, depending on the sugar content and type of dough. Active dry yeast should be rehydrated with a minimum of 3.5 to 4 times its weight in water at 100˚-110˚F. Non-GMO Kosher Gluten Free No preservatives present in product.
