This is the most economical way to buy yeast even if you only bake with it 6 times in a year. Do the math comparing the cost of those little packets & you'll see what I mean.
This is an "Instant" or "Rapid Rise" yeast which should not be confused with "Active Dry". Active Dry is dried at a higher temperature & therefore more of the yeast cells are killed. If using AD, you need to soak/activate it in warm water before adding to dry ingredients. This is unnecessary with Instant yeast; add it directly to the flour. You also need to use more AD because more of the yeast cells are dead.
I store mine in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator. I write the expiration date on a label stuck to the lid. It has always stayed active beyond the expiration date.
This is the yeast to use if you are using a bread machine. You can use AD yeast but it's more convenient to just dump all the ingredients in to a bread machine and let it do the work.
You can substitute Rapid Rise/Instant yeast in a recipe calling for Active Dry yeast. Use about 25% less Rapid Rise/Instant than the recipe calls for. Example: The Active Dry packets usually contain about 2-1/4 tsp./.25 oz. so use 1-3/4 tsp. Instant/rapid Rise yeast if the recipe calls for 1 packet (2-1/4 tsp.) Active Dry.
You can also substitute Active Dry for a recipe that calls for Instant/Rapid Rise. Use about 25% more Active Dry than the recipe calls for. Example: Use 1-1/4 tsp. Active Dry if the recipe calls for 1 tsp. Instant.
1 tsp. Active Dry = 3/4 tsp. Instant/Rapid Rise
1 tsp. Instant/Rapid Rise = 1 1/4 tsp. Active Dry
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp/.25 oz) Active Dry = 1 3/4 tsp. Instant/Rapid Rise
Other yeast to consider:
Red Star Baking Yeast, Vacuum Packed, 2-Pound
Safmex Instant Yeast ( 16 oz / 1 lb )

I got tired of paying $2.99 for a strip of 3 little packs of instant yeast. This is how even a casual baker should buy their yeast. Shipping is high so buy more than one. The yeast comes in a heavy duty vacuum pack so the unopened yeast will have a very long shelf life. I have used it twice for pizza dough and Chiabatta bread and it works great.

Works great in the bread machine. Great price. It stores well in the refrigerator. Much better buy than the 4oz jars.

Excellent Product
This item is the best for bread machines. Quick and efficient rise. If you need to make a bread I advise you to use unbleached flour and this brand yeast!
