 Favorite Yeast September 1, 2010
bibliomom (seattle, wa)
This is my absolute favorite yeast. Someone (and for the life of me, I can't remember if it was Alton Brown or America's Test Kitchen) measured the packet yeasts and found them to be wildly inconsistent - significantly over or under the stated amount. Maybe that explains some of my past issues with raised breads, but since I started using the SAF yeast, it's been absolutely perfect. Great in a bread machine, no proofing required, and I always get a consistent rise. I've used the bulk Red Star Active Rise as well and didn't like it at all - I just didn't feel it was as consistent. The SAF never makes me wonder if it's getting old or losing it's potency - it just works.
I tend to bake in phases, so I also appreciate the shelf (or in my case, freezer) life. I usually keep a small container in the refrigerator and the rest bagged up in the deep freeze. I even found some at the back of the freezer that was about three years old and it still worked perfectly. I have *never* had this stuff fail on me.
Since I'm not that serious of a baker, I can't compare Instant Yeast to Cake Yeast or other exotics, but for the bread machine and everyday bakers, this is the best I've found.
why buy anything else? August 4, 2010
elvis (new york, usa)
why buy packets?? when you can save a truckload of money buying bulk!
when i found this, saf instant yeast, i was amazed. baking has become much cheaper for me.
i actually got a pound from a friend who ordered from another spot.
brick comes sealed, when cracked you hear the release of air.
i put a nice portion in an airtight container, and slapped it in my fridge. that's the one i'll mainly use.
the rest i have in an airtight container which resides in my freezer for when the main stash in the fridge runs out.
one pound of this saf yeast, is almost equal in price of 3 packets of another brand yeast in my local supermarket.
WHAT A GREAT DEAL!
if you bake and buy packet yeast, you need to get yourself one of these, saf yeast pounder =)
great quality, great price! happy baking =)!
First time June 10, 2010

This was my first time using instant yeast, and I loved it. No need to activate the yeast, simply mix in with dry ingredients and it works every time. I have made pizza, pitas, and mexican sweet breads so far and I have no complaints. The yeast comes in an air tight pouch and I refrigerate it for longer use. It is quite a large amount for an average home. I am very happy with this product.

The only yeast ever to buy April 21, 2010
Denise (Corona del Mar, California)
This is the only yeast I ever use. It is reliable and powerful. I store mine in the fridge so it will last as long as needed.
