Details

Reduce mixing time by 10%-30% and shorten rising time by up to 50% with this Lesaffre SAF-Instant Red dry yeast! This instant dry 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 22 lb. package of instant dry yeast is perfect for making delicious bagels, croissants, donuts, and breads.

As a world leader in yeast, yeast extracts, and baking ingredients, Lesaffre Yeast Corporation provides you with products you can rely on. For more than 150 years, Lesaffre has specialized in producing yeasts for a wide variety of applications; their diverse line of products has something to fit every need.

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.

What can I say? Never lets me down and I've used this brand many times. Stores well in freezer (unopened) or fridge (in a jar with a tight-fitting lid). Gives a lovely flavor to home-baked bread. Baking ~4 loaves a week, one pound lasts quite a while.

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.

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 is the only yeast we use. We've used it for 10 years and will never switch. We use it for both pizza dough and rolls
