HOW TO USE
How to Use our Instant Dried Yeast.
This yeast can be added directly to the mixer by mixing it dry with the flour or by sprinkling it on top of the dough when mixing begins.
To bake bread in an oven : Use 1/2 teaspoon SAF Instant Yeast per cup of flour.
To bake bread in an Automatic Bread Machines on the quick cycle: Use 3/4 teaspoon SAF Instant Yeast per cup of flour. Adjust amount used to your taste.
If converting a recipe from active dry yeast to instant, you should use about 75-80% of the yeast called for in the recipe.
Storage: In the unopened package, SAF Instant Yeast has a shelf life of two years at room temperature. Yeast is damaged by water and moisture, so we recommend that once opened, you keep your yeast in an air tight jar (make sure the jar is completely dry!). You can store in the fridge if using frequently, otherwise store in the freezer and take out as needed.
Proof your Yeast : Before you bake consider checking the quality of your yeast. This is called proofing. Stir 1 tsp sugar into 1/4 cup warm water (about 40 degrees). Sprinkle 1 tsp yeast & stir. In five minutes, the mixture should foam. If it does not foam, the yeast is no good.
