Red StarActive Dry Yeast, 2 Pound Pouch

I recently used the Red Star Active Dry Yeast (2-pound pouch, $8.99) for Pizza Night, and I was beyond impressed! I’ve been using Fleischmann’s Active Dry Yeast for years, which works fine, but I’d read glowing reviews about Red Star and decided to give it a try. Let me tell you—it absolutely lives up to the hype!Using the same reliable recipe, tools, and conditions I always use (including identical water temperature and sugar), I noticed a significant improvement at every step. The froth and activity level were much higher with Red Star, and the smell! Oh, the smell--it was so much more bread-y and enticing, enhancing the whole experience.I prepared enough dough for eight crusts (with half to freeze), and the dough rounds rose beautifully under tea towels. This yeast is a game changer for home baking. The quality and performance truly stand out, and everything worked out perfectly.If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the bag isn’t resealable. While I wrapped it tightly with an elastic band and stored it in a freezer bag, a built-in closure would have been more convenient.Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, high-performing yeast for bread, pizza, or any baking project!

I make a lot of bread. This is the bag that was in my mom's fridge growing up. I'm not even sure she's ever replaced it in the 30-ish years I remember even noticing it. It's the brand you know, and it's yeast. Exactly the same taste, smell, and quality I remember from when I was younger. Every loaf it's in is childhood comforr in a bite.I'd probably pay more for it, but glad I don't have to.

Red Star active dry yeast is my brand of choice. I have used it for years for all types of breads and doughs, and it never disappoints.This 2 lb package will last several months for me, and once I open it I will keep it in the refrigerator. I always use 2 tsp for every load of bread I make, and it is perfect every time.Highly recommend!

This is a natural Active dry yeast and owned by a family business. Well worth the price

If you do any baking with yeast, this is a great product. It rises well and will last you a while. I place the yeast we are currently using in a jar in the fridge and wrap up any extra to store in the freezer. All of it works.

I ordered 3 packs, 2 were vacuumed sealed but one wasn’t, not sure if the one not vacuumed will work. Haven’t tried it yet.

Muy buen tamaño y precio.

Was surprised by the relatively recent production date, so product, at least in my case, was fresh. Good deal.
