Red Star Active Dry Yeast, 4 oz

ممتازة أنصح به

As someone who bakes bread 2–3 times a week, I’ve learned the hard way that not all yeast is created equal. I’ve switched to the Red Star Active Dry Yeast 4 oz jar, and it has become my go-to for everything from crusty sourdough-style loaves to sweet brioche. Why I prefer the 4 oz Jar over packets: Consistency & Freshness: Packets are convenient, but they are expensive if you bake often. This jar allows me to measure out exactly what I need (usually 2 4 1 ​ tsp for a standard loaf) without wasting half a packet. The "Proof" is in the Pudding: This yeast activates quickly. Within 5–10 minutes in warm water (105°F–110°F) with a pinch of sugar, I get a thick, foamy head every time. It’s very "active" and rarely duds. Value for Money: If you bake frequently, buying the jar is a no-brainer. It’s significantly more cost-effective than buying strips of individual packets at the grocery store. Storage: The screw-top lid keeps the yeast airtight. I keep mine in the back of the refrigerator, and it stays potent for months.

I have used Red Star yeast for decades! We owned several pizza restaurants and it is the only yeast I used! Making dough at home, now, and I had to use another brand (not sure if I can say the brand) but I was not able to get consistent results from one batch to the next. With Red Star, every batch I make, comes out the same, smooth and silky, spins perfectly, nice round crust with the right amount of airiness and bubbles, same with my bread recipes! Highly recommend!
