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.

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.

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.

i do a lot of bread baking and easier to buy in bulk
The Lesaffre SAF-Instant Red Dry Yeast (2 lb. Vacuum Pack) is a top-tier instant yeast, widely trusted by professional and home bakers for its fast-acting, reliable performance.
This is a great value for dry yeast. We don’t use this product anymore because our current mixes call for a different kind of yeast but this is a great brand and product! We used this for our yeast risen donuts!
Happy with this yeast for our focaccia bread.
this is the best and most vigorous yeast i've ever used.....very impressed
Simply the best. Long lasting, Keep in airtight bags after opening or else it will not work.
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.
I am glad that i found this type of Yeast, its one of the best quality and i like how my bread turns out. amazing
Lesaffre Red Star, bakers active dry yeast 2 lbs Excellent yeast, fresh and working great. I bake bread and pastries with it. AWSOME deal and I am very happy with the product. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks Elizabeth S
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!
Have used this yeast for years. Works great in any application. Vacuum packed bags store perfect even after opening. Every time I get this product it’s fresh, fresh, fresh which means it works it’s best. Thank you
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.
amazing value for the price i purchased a different brand from my local grocery store for double tje price and only 4oz. this thing is 16 oz and 1/4 of the price amazing
Love Red Star Yeast. They are very forgiving and always work well! We use it for sticky bun and croissants. They always turn out great.
