Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast, 4 oz

I consider Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast excellent. The validation is long of it is kept cap locked. After opening, there is no need to refrigerator; keep in a dry place. There is a high concentration. There is no need to hydrate, just add to the ingredients. It makes the dough rises quick.

This is very high quality yeast. Perfect for making your homemade breads or scratch made pizza dough, this yeast has a very long shelf life. In fact, I have a jar in the fridge that is still good after 6 months. Just make sure to bloom it in warm water (100-108°F) with a pinch of sugar to make sure it's active. Do keep in mind that this is a lot of yeast, equivalent to about 16 packets, so unless you're doing some serious baking you'll have it around for a while. I always bloom my yeast to make sure it's active but when it stops being active I'll toss it out and get another jar. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and will get another jar when this one dies.

This was ordered in quantity because it is used on average "Daily" to make fresh bread. I have yet to be disappointed in it, and family looks forward to their share when I take it to them during visits. I think this is the best for the type of bread and rolls I make, and even though I proof it before use out of habit, it has not failed me yet. I honestly have used other styles of yeast such as "Quick Rise" but I have patience in the waiting for the 1st and 2nd rise. The bread only takes 15 minutes to bake, but around 1 hour total for the proofing before it is cut or shaped, and then 30 minutes in the pan. When it bakes it gets larger still. The bread usually comes out great unless I forget something, but this yeast ensures the dough is airy and light when finished. You can't go wrong.

Great for making breads!

This product was not safely sealed and arrived with many dents. Not sure if someone else attempted to open it or if it happened during production. When I went to open it after it arrived, it did not pop up like it suggests it should on the lid.

This was already expired. It is a living thing and so is no good.

Purchased on March 5th 2024. Expiration was back in 2018! No wonder my breads were not rising.

Very good condition for this shipping. Thank you!

Store-bought bread these days is a disappointment. It tastes like some strange combination of school paste and paper, probably the result of cost-cutting and chasing profits. I had almost forgotten what real bread was supposed to taste like. Then my wife started making homemade bread with Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast, and suddenly I was transported back to my childhood. That warm, yeasty aroma filling the kitchen. The golden crust. The soft, flavorful crumb that actually tastes like something. This is what bread is supposed to be. The yeast activates reliably every time, gives a great rise, and produces loaves with that authentic, old-fashioned flavor that commercial bakeries seem to have abandoned. If you're tired of the flavorless stuff on grocery store shelves and want to remember what real bread tastes like, get yourself some Fleischmann's and start baking. Your taste buds will thank you.

I bake frequently so this bottle is a better value than individual packets. I prefer active dry yeast to the rapid rise yeast because I like the yeast to bloom a bit before I add it to a dough. The lower liquid temperature that this yeast requires makes that possible.
