SAF Instant Yeast Red for Baking Cake, Bread and Dough, 1 Pound (1 Pack)

Works great. I transfer small amounts to a jar and keep the bag in the freeze. It last 6 months to a year. Much cheaper than the small packs at the store.

Very good yeast, good container, keeps in the freezer.

This yeast never fails when I make bread in my breadmaker. I have used this brand for several years, and I always get a perfect dough rise using this product.I keep a few tablespoons of the yeast in a tightly covered container in my refrigerator. I keep the remainder of the yeast, in its original bag, in my freezer so that it stays fresh and I don't have to worry about it expiring. Every few weeks I have to refill the container in my refrigerator.I highly recommend this yeast. It works great and I hope it does not become unavailable any time during my lifetime.

Very consistent product. I am able to store extra in freezer with minimal loss in activation after 6 months. Mainly use for breads and never been disappointed.

It's bread yeast and it works. Maybe there are folks who can taste the difference between this and similar brands, but that seems to be beyond me.For the last 5-10 years I've been buying a package of yeast like this and dumping it into a clean / dry mason jar. I put keep it in the garage fridge and I've always got yeast on hand if I decide to bake bread. In my case, it is more than I use in two years, and that's about what the effective life is before it starts dropping off in it's ability to activate and rise.I've used this batch for dinner rolls, french bread, focaccia, pizza dough, pretzels, and bagels. It worked well for all of them.

I started baking bread slowly from the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day. There was no need for a big mixer or special equipment. A big bowl, a Danish Wisk, Flour and Yeast. Their recommendation in their book was SAF Instant Yeast. Each recipe I tried was a total success. Many of the failures that other wrote about were due to no rise. I ordered the yeast, checked the date on the package, poured it into an air tight container, marked the expiration date on the container and placed it in my freezer. The Yeast works every time. I have not had 1 failure and I started baking in 2014. I attached a picture of my everyday bread. I make this every week and every week it looks just like the picture. I did get a mixer and have tried all sorts of bread, sweet bread, milk bread, wheat bread, rye bread, brioche, dinner rolls, burger buns, subway buns, French bread and never a failure. Some are not as pretty as others but the rise is always perfect. The price is reasonable and if you take care of it (air tight in the freezer) you will be able to used it up before it quits working!

Received my instant yeast today and made my first loaves with it. Rise is great, bread is yummy. Disappointed in expiration date 08/25. Not the 2 year expiration or near that as expected. I’m sure I’ll use it up before that. That’s not the point though.

I've been using this yeast for years now. It has the best flavor and it cuts rising time. The Package arrived vacuum sealed as it should. I think the yeast from this company usually has a two year shelf date from production. The expiration date on my package is 1/26, so this product has been on the shelf for close to a year already. Shouldn't be a problem as long as kept correctly, but a heads up if you're looking for a fresher product. I keep it in the freezer, and it last forever. Well beyond the expiration date, I'm able to use the entire package.
