Lallemand Instaferm Instant Dry Yeast, 1lb

Instaferm Instant Dry Yeast is best known for its rapid rise, as its smaller granules allow the yeast to dissolve and activate quickly. This product can be used in baking products without proofing, allowing for a more convenient baking experience. Characterized by a clean, neutral, and slightly sweet flavour, instant dry yeast is ideal for fast and efficient baking when mixed with dry ingredients.

This 450g bag of Instaferm Instant Dry Yeast is best used for baking products that contain 0-8% sugar and frozen baking products, such as bread, buns, and pizza dough. 

How to use it

Mix the yeast directly with ¼ cup of liquid in a small bowl to activate the yeast. Let the yeast stand for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, allowing a foam to form, indicating that the yeast is active. Once the foam has formed, you are ready to continue with your recipe. 

Keeping it Fresh

Because the yeast is alive, it is best to store it in a cool environment, with a temperature of 4°C – 10°C, in an airtight container.  It is also important to keep it away from any heat sources or light. Instant dry yeast can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12-18 months; however, if you are looking for a long-term storage solution, instant dry yeast stores well in the freezer.
