  • instant dry yeast
    Instant yeast appears similar to active dry yeast, but has smaller granules with substantially higher percentages of live cells per comparable unit volumes. It is more perishable than active dry yeast, but also does not require rehydration, and can usually be added directly to all but the driest doughs. Instant yeast generally has a small amount of ascorbic acid added as a preservative. (Wikipedia) Buy Now

    Great bun, but I would cut the sugar a little bit. I filled some of those with cheese inside, and they were a delicious snack! I’ll probably do this again!

    These were decent. A bit too sweet. But the texture was soft and nice. The dough is really wet.

    These are fabulous! They are light and fluffy and oh so good! I made them 75 gms instead of the suggested 100 gms because I wanted to make them for leftover Thanksgiving ham and turkey sandwiches. They were still quite large. Next time, I might cut down on the sugar as they were a little sweet for my taste. Also, I let them rise in the fridge overnight and they were sticky and sort of difficult to shape.
