Description
Red Star bakers active dry yeast 2 lbs. vacuum pack can be used in all yeast-leavened goods, making it a versatile option.
High quality yeast great to use for all baking. Active Dry Yeast is cake yeast in a semi-dormant state. The drying process in its manufacture, reduces moisture content to about 7%, giving it a longer shelf life than cake yeast. When rehydrated, it provides ultimate baking activity in all yeast dough, low sugar to highly sweetened breads.
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 lbs. bag of active dry yeast is perfect for making pizza crust, round loaves, or long "French-style" breads.
