Lallemand Instaferm Instant Dry Yeast Leavening Agent, Red, 15.88 Oz.

Great product, that never fails. Good price and fast delivery.

I did a lot of yeast bread baking in my younger years, and retirement has allowed me to resume my love of baking. I had only used regular active dry yeast packets previously, but the virus has made it difficult to find any kind of yeast for baking locally! I found this yeast on Amazon and after a bit of research decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad that I did! My first foray back into baking was with bagels and they turned out so yummy! My research found that “Instant yeast requires approximately a 25% reduction from the amount of active dry called for, and this worked for me! I think I would have had a bit too much yeast flavor without the reduction. Although this instant yeast does not call for proofing, I did so anyway: it seemed a little less fizzy than regular active, but worked great regardless! The price for the amount of yeast is great and storing in the fridge or freezer should provide a long shelf life and lots of breads and donuts:)

Rises fast and makes good breads. Purchased May23, 2020 during pandemic. It lasted until today, May26, 2023. I kept it in small glass jars in the freezer the whole time. It was just as energetic as the day I got it. I purchased another bag today. It seems pricey but honestly it was only $5 more than it was 3 years ago. Not terrible. I tried the SAF as it was half the price but was not impressed with the little to no activity. I'm sticking with Instaferm.

This is the second pound we purchased. The first one lasted a year of our pandemic-induced baking. We kept it in the refrigerator. Using the last of the old one, and then a few days later the first of the new one, I found that the difference was noticeable -- dough with the new yeast rose faster. So if you are going to use this over a long period as we did, I think that keeping the bulk of it in small jars in the freezer would be better -- then thaw out a new jar when the current one is used up. Old spice jars work well for this purpose.

Usually a a very good yeast, but last order took 2-3 times longer to rise properly. I have been buying this product for the last few years and it has been great, but this last order seemed like it was old or something since it really had a terrible rise while using it.

Because of COVID I had to switch from my usual Fleischmann's yeast to something else. No one had any yeast in stock so I decided to take a chance on this one based on other reviews. We have made many loaves of bread, pizza crust and other baked goodies. They have all turned out perfectly! I filled my empty jar with this and vacuum sealed the rest since it's a big bag and doesn't have a way to seal on it's own. I keep both in the fridge. Bonus to all this is the cheaper price than what I was buying pre-pandemic.

I have used this brand of instant yeast for several years. It has never failed me. A very good product.

Very satisfied
