    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

    Another winner from this book! My family liked these even more than the brioche buns I made. Dumping the buns into boiling water was a little terrifying. I tried the slotted spatula, but what ended up working best was just picking them up with my hands and carefully placing them in the water. Otherwise my buns were becoming misshapen. At the halfway rotation time they did not look even close to mahogany- KEEP FAITH! Like magic at full bake time they were a beautiful deep brown.
