  • instant 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

    I made a roll variation of this delicious bread. I used 3/4 cup bran (Flourist) with 2 tbsp rolled oats and 2 tbsp 8 grain cereal (Arva) for the bran. Mixed and rose in the machine then formed 9 rolls in a 9x9 pan. Baked at 400 F 10 min with steam, 10 min without steam.

    This is my favourite bread machine loaf. I always sub oil for the butter and use ground flax for part of the bran. Have also made it with oatmeal for part of the bran. It rises well in the machine and is great for sandwiches or with soups.
