Details

Lesaffre Red Star bakers active dry yeast 2 lb. vacuum pack can be used in all yeast-leavened goods, making it a versatile option for any bakery, pizzeria, or restaurant! The airtight vacuum packaging helps to extend this yeast's already lengthy shelf life by keeping moisture out. When you're ready to use it, simply dissolve the yeast in warm water before adding it into your ingredient mixture!

Yeast 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 2 lb. bag of active dry yeast is perfect for making pizza crust, round loaves, or long "French-style" breads.

Works great for our small bakery! We were buying packs from the store but this size is much more cost-effective for us! Good quality and didn't expire anytime soon, unlike some packages you see at the store.

This yeast is a great deal. I am new to bread baking and yeast is so over priced in the store, I am glad I found these 1lb packages. I have seen these packages at much higher cost from other popular online retailers. The WEBstaurant Store has the best prices.

High quality yeast for baking anything you like. I like to keep the instant and active on hand depending on the recipe as both are versatile.

Red Star dry active yeast is the only yeast I use. Buying this way is better than the small packets and saves money. The yeast is always fresh, and I have never had a problem.

I haven't actually used the yeast yet, as I am waiting for my old one to finish. i do like the fact that it is air tight sealed when it got to me.

I love Lesaffre yeast. I love this kind but, I must admit I do prefer the Lesaffre Premium Instant brand yeast. This yeast is a great yeast if you prefer active dry yeast. Lesaffre makes the best yeast.

This is my favorite brand of active dry yeast. It dissolves quickly when placed in warm water for proofing. The end results it produces for baked goods is wonderful!

This is the smart way to buy Yeast. This item works just as well as the stuff I would buy from the local market and the price is really great. We use it to make home made bread and baked goods.

This is by far superior quality yeast. Just proof for ten minutes and it’s absolutely perfect. The only yeast I will ever use because it’s that good!

Great active dry yeast. This is the best price for active dry yeast that I have found so far. Stores for weeks since it is vacuum sealed so I always keep backups on my shelves.
