  • 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

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was a fun project, not difficult. The resulting bread was pretty, but a little dry - not surprising considering it's baked extra long to avoid "side suck" (which mine still had anyway). Not exactly a versatile bread. I enjoyed it best lightly toasted, spread with butter or nut butter (pistachio was especially good).
