Versatile and easy to use, this instant yeast is for use in doughs with sugar levels ranging from 10% to 30%, making it ideal for a wide variety of sweet goods and breads. This yeast allows dough to be fermented in warmer temperatures, and ensures a uniform rise with each use. Whether your menu includes heavenly croissants, hand-dipped donuts, or fruity Danish pastries, Lesaffre SAF-Instant yeast is the perfect product for a variety of baking applications.

Love this yeast! I just changed to saf yeast recently, and chose the gold over the red because it is meant more for sweet doughs. It rose fast, and the end product was a night and day difference from using fleischmanns instant. The texture of my cinnamon rolls is like a cloud. light, fluffy, perfect. And price is three dollars cheaper than what I was paying locally. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent product with outstanding performance. Vacuum packed to ensure freshness. I liked how the expiration date was about two years from the date purchased.

This yeast really does make a difference when baking with sweeter bread doughs. We find our dough rises higher and faster and produces great results with our pannetone bread. Will buy again.

I've tried two of the other big name instant yeast, and they were comparable to each other. After that, I thought "yeast is yeast" and it didn't really matter what type I used. Then I tried some of this Lesaffre brand yeast. What a difference. It rises faster and larger than the previous yeasts I have used, and the results just seem more uniform. Works great in breads, sandwich rolls, pizza crusts and pastries. It might cost a bit more, but results are worth it. It's going to be hard to bring myself to finish using the other type still sitting on my shelf.

This is my favorite yeast for making challah! It not only rises higher, but the texture is so much better than with the supermarket yeast packets. The texture of the dough makes the braiding easier and I have to make a double batch every time because my family gobbles it up. There used to be leftovers, but not anymore.

we have been doing some baking experimenting with new recipes and we figured we might as well grab a 1lb bag, since its cheaper than the individual packets. this yeast is wonderful and it is a low cost. using it in keto diet treats for home, as well as some Japanese treats we have been working on in preparation for our upcoming party menu. this yeast is a great value

The best dry yeast for high fat sweet breads like brioche. We've used it along side the red label and there is significant difference in the rise, taste, and texture of the end product.

I love all of the Lesaffre SAF Yeasts. Thank you WebstaurantStore for making sure you always ship the freshest product. I have purchased yeast from the grocery and my bread products rise but they do not rise as well as they do with Lesaffre! The value is fabulous here!!! Since I don't cook bread every day, I share my yeasts with friends.

Not only is this brand reliable, this particular type is perfect for osmotolerant doughs - think sweet doughs or doughs with less liquids like croissants. Another bonus is it's fast-acting and requires less yeast than active dry yeast. I used this for Belgian Waffles and they were incredible. Best price online for this hard-to-find product.
