Details

Reduce mixing time by 10%-30% and shorten rising time by up to 50% with this Lessafre SAF-Instant Red dry yeast 1 lb. vacuum pack! This SAF yeast, also known as "bread machine yeast", differs from active dry yeast in that it does not need to be dissolved in warm water before it is used, saving you time and, ultimately, money!

Versatile enough to be used in a variety of bread-making processes with sugar levels up to 12%, it can be poured directly into a mixer, mixed with flour, or added at the beginning of a mixing process. All yeast, which acts as a leavening agent, converts sugars found in dough into carbon dioxide, causing the dough to expand. This process is what helps give bread the soft and airy texture we all know and love! This 1 lb. bag of SAF-instant yeast is perfect for making delicious bagels, croissants, donuts, and more.

This is a reliable yeast. It has lasted in my refrigerator for over a year without loosing it's quality. I use it for breads and pizzas in my bread machine and for dough I mix by hand.

Great yeast, never fails us. I like that the case comes with 20 individual pounds of yeast because I can pull what is needed for the day and leave the rest in storage.

Love this yeast. I mix it in directly with flour for making my yeast breads, cold everything, but this yeast never fails me. Great oven spring with it.

When it first arrived i was a little hesitant because the packaging was closed really tight no air in the bag so the powder was hard until I opened it to get some air in it?? it was shipped out really fast and good condition. It was just the packaging

Great item. We use it daily, go through a bag every couple days. Have never had a problem that we attributed to the yeast quality or activity.

This yeast has never failed me. I go through a pound in around 3 months, so I haven't had any issues with expiring. I'm always getting a consistent product for my breads and pastries, and I love the big size so I font have to fumble around with "individual" serving packets.

Excellent quality yeast from lesaffre. This is our preferred brand and it activates quicky and the bread always rises great. Value is great when you purchase by the case.

This is such a great, reliable yeast. And, as a plus, it costs less than any other one I’ve found! I purchased this 1lb pack and keep it in a jar in my fridge. I’ve kept this brand for over a year before, and it’ll still work great!

This yeast quickly pumps up any bread or pizza crust. Quickly activated and a heavy lifter, and it gives off the delicious yeasty smell as it sets in warm water ready to help your dough rise.

Lesaffre instant yeast is a wonderful buy. My students have been using this yeast to make pizzas and homemade bread. It rises fast and is much cheaper than purchasing the sleeves of yeast at the grocery store.
