Hello all !
Some bred recipes call for
Active dry yeast and other for Dried yeast...
I have a fine semolina like brown powder
named lyophilised yeast !
Active or not ?
TIA,
Gerardus

dried yeast" has granules about the size of a sesame seed and requires
activation in warm/hot water or a very liquid preferment. "quick
acting" yeast comes in much smaller granules and can be mixed directly
with the flour because it has a higher proportion of living yeast
cells and is mixed with an emulsifier.
If it's a fine powder it's probably quick acting yeast.
Confusing isn't it?
Love
John

Thanks for answering !
When I read the bread machine instructions,
active dry yeast seems faster than dried yeast !
What I have is fine powder...
And seems to give fine results as dried yeast !
I also saw a mix of sodium bicarbonate with some phosphate(?)
and wheat gluten that could be faster ???
Gerardus, dubious

Hi Gerardus, the hardest part here is you aren't in the same country
and cooking terms may not match on this one. The 'fine powder' is an
indicator of possibly a breadmachine optimal yeast. Quick Acting or
Rapid Rise are common names. If the yeast says 'for breadmachines'
then apt to be right. If it has directions to proof in water or mix
with water at the warm temp, it's not the right stuff.
Breadmachines expect the yeast to be dry and added to the top of the
flour (water/milk goes in first, then flour and other dry items on
top). The type of yeast that you let bubble in warm water first then
hand make bread from is all wrong for the machine.

Sure : salt kills yeast...
But there should exist "Dried yeast" and "Active dried yeast"
and I'm not able to locate, I think, the second one !

is "dried." Active dried yeast is the most common and will say so on
the package. The other yeast is "Instant Yeast," or "Bread Machine
Yeast," and will also say so on the package. You will not find a
package labeled dried yeast as it doesn't describe the contents fully.
If you are confused, write the names down on a slip of paper before
you go shopping. For more info, look here for info on Fleischmann's

Be aware that SAF Instant yeast is also a product of Red Star and be
sure to read up on it on their site.
If you follow the above links and read them, they should solve your

Thanks for the info !
But I'm still more confused my machine uses two types of powder yeast :
normal and fast !
RedStar has the following choice (probably not dispatched to Belgium) :
ACTIVE DRY YEAST PRODUCTS
RED STAR® Active Dry Yeast
SAF® Traditional Active Dry Yeast
bakipan® Active Dry Yeast
INSTANT YEAST PRODUCTS
RED STAR® Quick-Rise=3F
RED STAR® Bread Machine Yeast
SAF® Gourmet Perfect Rise
SAF® Bread Machine Yeast
bakipan® Fast Rising Yeast
bakipan® Bread Machine Yeast
Interesting decision ;-) !
