Red Star Active Dry Yeast, 4 oz (113.4 g) Multi-Use Jar, Baking and Breadmaking Essential

I was a bit skeptical because I didn't buy rapid rise but this yeast works! And it works just as fast as rapid rise in my experience! It may depend on climate though.

This Red Star Active Dry Yeast jar is my go-to choice for all of my bread making. This is a brand I trust, and I always find that Walmart has one of the best prices compared to other local grocery stores . The container is compact, easy to open, and even includes some common bread recipes on the packaging, which is a nice added touch. The instructions note that it should be refrigerated or frozen after opening and used within about four months, so it's one I make sure to keep stocked in my pantry. It's actually a product that sells out frequently at my local grocery store. I love the quality of this yeast. It has a great smell, even before you start baking, and it consistently mixes well, activates properly, and helps my bread turn out great every time. The empty jar is also a nice size for recycling or repurposing for other household uses, although it is not designed to be refilled with more yeast. Overall, this is a dependable active dry yeast that I will continue purchasing for my homemade baking needs.

Works great for bread making! I make quite a bit of bread and haven't had any issues with this product. Thank you for providing a non-gmo option! Really should be the only option on the market. No one likes chemicals in their body, if they can help it!!

just bought the jar really haven't had time yet to make a bread but they have the active date on it and it looks pretty good so I'm looking forward to making breads and pastries and this is an exceptional brand that I've used before and we'll buy again

Exceptionally good product. I love to bake with this yeast. Dough always rises well and my breads and rolls turn out great. I use it in my bread machine as well.

I like to buy this jar of yeast to make my sourdough quick bread. It's easy to pull out of the refrigerator and measure out the amount that I need to make a loaf any day of the week. It makes a wonderful dough that rises so beautifully. It smells and tastes just like yeast should. It gives a good rise.

Except for the brand, I find no real difference between Red Star and Fleischmann's yeast. Currently, it's a dime cheaper than Fleischmann's, but other than that it smells the same, rises the same and doesn't impart a yeasty taste (unless you really use too much), just like Fleischmann's. Buy and use with confidence. Tip: You can safely put yeast in the freezer (to prolong it's useful life) without harming it. Keep in mind, once opened and frozen it may develop freezer burn.

Love this yeast,all natural,only one ingredient,made in USA ,very important to me . I only use 1 teaspoon to 4 cups of flour and rise so big of course I use unbleached ,organic bread flour . I also make my own sour dough starter , but I don't like the taste of sour dough. So this red star band gives me what I want natural,one ingredient with out the sour taste . Sometimes I only use a half of teaspoon.

I always have this in my freezer. I don't buy bread, pizzas (-very often at least), and any other kind of dough product. I prefer Red Star yeast for everything. The price, the smell, the flavor. It all makes this a really great product.

I USE THIS ACTIVE YEAST TO KICK START MY SEPTIC TANK WHEN ITS WORKING POORLY YEAST WILL CREATE THE PROPER PH FOR THE GOOD BACTERIA IN THE DECOMPOSITION PROCESS
