  • A truly excellent yeast an a very good price
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Two issues close to any baker's heart: quality and cost. The quality of this yeast is really excellent; of the various yeasts I've used, I like this one the best. It imparts a light, slightly sweet taste to the breads and pastries we make that adds delightfully to their flavor profile. This is, essentially, a pastry-type yeast but it has worked very well with everything we've used it in, from pastries to solid, hearty breads. Yeast like Fleischmann's is .. well ... yeast and I'm not disparaging it but this yeast has a different and very delightful character that has caused us to switch to it exclusively. We first purchased this yeast in 2020; at the beginning of the COVID epidemic, yeast was sold out at all our supermarkets; you could rarely find it anywhere, locally, and when you could it was around $3 for a .25oz packet. Even now, Fleischmann's activated yeast is about $6 for a 4oz jar. By contrast, this yeast was $10/POUND. It holds up very well over time if kept refrigerated. As I said, we purchased the 1lb. package of this yeast for the first time in 2020; we are only running out now and have ordered another pound. During the entire 4 years we've used it it has performed perfectly with no degradation in its flavor or performance. I cannot recommend it highly enough. ... show more

  • Great Instant Yeast, But Pricey
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
This instant yeast works wonderfully for bread baking. It’s reliable and always gives me great results, with fluffy loaves every time. While I love the quality, the price feels a bit on the high side compared to similar products. Still, it’s worth it if you’re looking for consistency and top-notch performance ... show more

  • Best yeast for sweet breads
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Works perfectly for sweet dough bread. The dough easily grows using this yeast. The taste of the bread using this is real good. No leakage when I received the product. Return policy is great and definitely gonna buy it again. Worth it

  • After almost 8 years in the freezer
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
I purchased two pounds in October 2016, threw them in the chest freezer and forgot about them. When my wife said her latest bread didn't rise, I went on line to see about getting some yeast and then found I had bought this in 2016. I had forgotten they were there. Opened one up, proofed it and put the rest back in the freezer in case it was still good. After 5 minutes (1/2 cup water 100 F, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast) the result looked like the foam on a beer poured a few minutes before. Excellent yeast. Will see how it does on the next bread, but it certainly proofs well. ... show more

  • Works well, long lasting.
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
I bought my first batch in 2020, during the Covid bread-baking craze. That batch last and performed will all the into 2024, when I bought my second batch. I use it regularly for rustic baguettes, pizza dough, and hamburger buns. This yeast is highly active, long lasting, and has a very pleasant aroma and taste. Definitely recommend. ... show more

  • BEST YEAST I EVER USED
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
With Corona virus and these lockdowns it is next to impossible to buy yeast here in Arizona. A reviewer did not think it was authentic because his pack said it was produced in Mexico. Companies will often setup division in other countries to save on cost of shipping to other parts of the world. One user said the red label of SAF yeast was better. The red and gold labels are different. The red is for regular bread baking. The gold is for baking breads like sweet rolls because this yeast has a higher tolerance for sugar For years I used Feishmanns active dry yeast. Then this pandemic came and I could not find my yeast of choice so I tried this, and VERY GLAD I DID! You may. Be thinking “What am I going to do with a pound of yeast!” That is a legitimate concern here’s two ideas. 1 yeast will be good for years after the expiration date if you protect the yeast from light and heat. I put part of the yeast in the bottle at room temperature. The rest was put in a clean dry glass jar and stored in the bottom drawer of the fridge. To protect the yeast from light I wrapped the bottle in Black plastic. 2. Share some of the yeast with a neighbor who needs it. I love fresh hot bread. So I use my bread machine 2-3 times a week. I also brew my own wine. Why would I brew wine? Lots of reasons. Bread yeast keeps more of the fruit flavors from the juice than wine yeast. Brewing wine is stupid simple. Combine juice, sugar and yeast and let the yeast do their job All fermented foods sauerkraut, kimchi, Kefir and homemade wine are rich in probiotics to keep your gut biome healthy. By the way over 70% of your immune system is there in your gut biome. Commercial wines have been treated with potassium metabisulfite or potassium sorbate to kill the yeast. Unfortunately these chemicals also kill the helpful bacteria and probiotics. For years they completely overlooked the probiotics in homemade wine because they thought the alcohol would also kill the helpful bacteria and probiotics but research has started coming in and what they are finding is simply incredible. I cannot post links in reviews so if you are interested email me. When I make the wine I decide whether it will be a sweet or dry wine. You do this by adjusting the amount of sugar you add to the must. For baking bread and brewing wine this yeast is incredible ... show more
