  • Product Info

    Red Star® Active Dry Bakers Yeast provides a moderate, steady leavening rate to develop more flavor in all types of yeast doughs from no or low sugar to highly sweetened and enriched. The somewhat slower action of active dry yeast (compared to Instant Yeast) makes it the perfect choice for slow fermentation and refrigerated doughs.

    Active Dry Yeast may be substituted 1:1 for Instant Yeast, but because it has a slower rate of action, your dough may take slightly longer to rise. Simply monitor your dough while it is rising and adjust the time as needed.

    This yeast is designed for use in regular yeast breads, enriched breads, rolls, pizza, sandwich bread, bagels, and more. The vacuum-packed, one-pound (454g) brick will make about 100 loaves. It will keep for years when stored in an air-tight container in the freezer.

It’s the only yeast I use.

I am allergic to potato, which causes inflammation around my lungs giving me COPD-like symptoms. There are many products cultured on potato, and foods containing potato. Potatoes are one of the cheapest food sources out there. therefore, many foods contain potato in them. Most commercial breads are made with yeast grown on or cultured on potato. Red Star Active Dry Yeast is the only one outside of Bragg’s Nutritional Yeast that is not grown on potato. It is the only brand I purchase. I bake bread with a bread machine, because I no longer have the strength in my hands and wrists to knead bread. It works just wonderfully.

Pay attention to the ingredients in the Yeast that You choose...

While I do use Red Star Yeast, I avoid the RED Star Active Dry Yeast the product that contains or adds the ingredient sorbitan monostearate, another name for this ingredient is polysorbate 60... an ingredient that is made from genetically modified corn or potatoes... potatoes fall under the dirty dozen (a crop that is highly sprayed with pesticides), so choosing organic potatoes is always wise, to avoid the pesticide residues...

Red Star Yeast rises to the occasion

I only use Red Star Yeast from Janie's Mill in all my baking. My breads and rolls are always delicious, so I know the Red Star is the best
