Red Star® Active Dry Bakers Yeast provides a moderate, steady leavening rate to develop more flavor in all types of yeast doughs from no or low sugar to highly sweetened and enriched. The somewhat slower action of active dry yeast (compared to Instant Yeast) makes it the perfect choice for slow fermentation and refrigerated doughs. Active Dry Yeast may be substituted 1:1 for Instant Yeast, but because it has a slower rate of action, your dough may take slightly longer to rise. Simply monitor your dough while it is rising and adjust the time as needed. This yeast is designed for use in regular yeast breads, enriched breads, rolls, pizza, sandwich bread, bagels, and more. The vacuum-packed, one-pound (454g) brick will make about 100 loaves. It will keep for years when stored in an air-tight container in the freezer.
